Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“We" are the empirical decision makers who hold that uncertainty is our discipline, and that understanding how to act under conditions of incomplete information is the highest and most urgent human pursuit.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Edward O. Wilson
“The real problem of humanity is the following: We have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions and godlike technology. And it is terrifically dangerous, and it is now approaching a point of crisis overall.”
Edward O. Wilson

Hayao Miyazaki
“Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed. But still, you find reasons to keep living.”
Hayao Miyazaki

Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“It is the same logic reversal we saw earlier with the value of what we don’t know; everybody knows that you need more prevention than treatment, but few reward acts of prevention.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

Albert Camus
“At the present time, I long only to sleep and to remain silent. I am sick of humanity.”
