Nassim Taleb - DO NOT Try to be Resilient. Do this Instead

Taleb is the king of making simple things sound very complicated.

This is a useful construct. One can see many examples of how to apply the construct in order to get a quick read and develop operating theories/assumptions. Today, I was looking at examples of brain drain caused by migrations of the “anti fragile”, leaving behind systems that became fragile without an anti fragile populace. Or US culture over the past 50+ years since The Great Society. Thanks for this.

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

The Welfare State did that in the timeframe.

[@javierwagner4410]

The idea is interesting, although the example of the plane is not a very good one. The Airline industry has used disasters to construct a system that tries to delete the factors that lead to a crash. Usually, if not always, by standardization of the operational environment; be it maintenance, flight preparation, flight control, etc. So by making the whole system more predictable in its behavior the crashes have been reduced. Not sure he has thought this through enough.

[@fitnesspoint2006]

Actually he is correct. I watch lots of youtubers that are Ailine pilots or engineers and they all say the same thing that prior crashes/incidents have brought about vast imporvements in the aireline industry.

[@BigHenFor]

I think you missed the point. The airlines do limit their robustness to safety and scheduling, but in everything else they are Antifragile. They work to adapt to changes in consumer behaviour. By making their staffing super-flexible, by updating frequently their aircraft in order to leverage technological gains, optimising routes, leveraging passenger psychology to get free financing (flying points schemes), brand stratification and extension - in all these they are antifragile.

[@jeffreytischler6073]

Anti-fragile might be considered opportunistic, in the sense of benefiting from misfortune of disruption of others.

[@Chuck25o4m]

With respect to options trading being resilient is akin to being long stocks with protective puts. Being so-called anti-fragile is akin to owning strangles on the market. Everything has a cost, and you will eventually go broke if you keep buying strangles in an attempt to be "anti-fragile." Being resilient is good enough, no need to incur the very high carrying cost of systematically trying to benefit from unlikely highly volitive events. Just make sure you carry sufficient insurance and/or cash/gold so you won't be ruined if they materialize.

[@ericchristopher1687]

So - a herd of wildebeest would be fragile, since they are prey animals, which run away when attacked by lions, some of them dying in the process. But the vultures who feed off their carcasses are anti-fragile, because they benefit from the chaos of the chase. On the other hand, individual wildebeest - those whose genetic disposition to remain more calm and survive the stampede through their superior mental capacity, for instance - would also be anti-fragile, and able to pass along their genes for that trait, while those who panicked died and thus did not benefit. This assures the continuation of the wildebeest species through time and change. Of course, the lions are also anti-fragile, as are the hyenas who pick the carcasses.

[@eltonsilveira101]

Great perspective! Not sure if it was just me but he didn't get into the difference between resilience & antifragility

[@Messi10947]

He did. From what I understand resilience is when you are not harmed by volatility, whereas antifragile is when you benefit from stressors

[@no_more_spamplease5121]

If you recover your health after getting a disease you didn't have antibodies against, then your body is resilient with respect to that disease. Now let's take another disease, against which you wouldn't survive if you got it. If you didn't have antibodies previously, getting an effective vaccine (a stressor) makes your body antifragile with respect to that disease. The stressor made your body "stronger" to defend against that disease.

Boom and bust is not a natural phenomenon in all economic system, only in the mixed economic system that we have boom and bust, because the natural protective mechanisms have been dismantled by government, muddling and controls.

temperable things is a better word than antifragile.

[@filmawayvlad]

[@bobthrasher8226]

Nissim got the appropriate pandemic response so wrong - he and his group had a kind of "zero-covid" strategy. Surprised that a guy that advocates "antifragility" would go that way.

[@throwacnt7603]

@Bob Thrasher Notice how any critiques don't get "hearted." Sounds rather fragile.

[@BlueBeeMCMLXI]

It's Nassim.

[@BigHenFor]

Probably, because you don't understand the concept. Sure, you can be Antifragile by not wearing a seat belt in your car, but when the odds are that like thousands of drivers a year you will get into a crash, and be at least injured, if not killed, and it's proven that wearing a seatbelt reduces your risk, you would be Irrational not to wear it. Being Antifragile is not about taking stupid risks. It's about reasserting the rational management of risk, instead either being totally oblivious to risk, or being paralysed by risk. Both have undesirable consequences, as can be seen in the American economy today. The risks were poorly managed, because of the uniquely American psychological, political, and intellectual climate. And now, your economy is paying the price of that. It makes the management of systemic risks all the more difficult.

[@iche9373]

But why that Comic Sans font in your video?

[@Quickeasyguitarlessons]

Can you explain why banks crush makes next bank crush more likely? Thanks

[@PickingNuggets]

one hypothesis: when it crashes, it is bailed out by government. And this reinforces their incentives to take even more silly risks (making it more fragile) given that the bank owners and directors own the upside and can transfer the downside to Society (via the government bail out)

It depends on the phenomenon. If you receive an effective vaccine, your body will become antifragile with respect to that disease. Now, if you receive uranium, you'll definitely be fragile. 🤷🏽

Like a number of Taleb’s other work, a seemingly intriguing single point to make, with lots of repetition, numerous examples, but not really much content here. Thriving on chaos, exercising anti-fragility doesn’t help much if you’re told you have pancreatic cancer, ALS, or if your helicopter pilot is not-instrument rated and you’re headed into fog; or if your woman (or your investor) is sadistic, or latently psychotic, etc.

I like these guys better (Taleb, Kahneman) when they are giving us insight based on experiment and not conjecture about surface level patterns. This is close to looking at the stars and seeing Orion, as one commenter below stated about the airline industry you can look at the systems in place and get an entirely different "lesson" from it. then this guy makes another conjecture based on this to say we should "work like a lion". Find a different guru, better yet stop believing in gurus.
