Antifragile

Anything that has more upside than downside from random events (or certain shocks) is antifragile; the reverse is fragile.

Jobs figured out that “you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple.”

That “necessity really is the mother of invention.”

In the complex world, the notion of “cause” itself is suspect; it is either nearly impossible to detect or not really defined—another reason to ignore newspapers, with their constant supply of causes for things.
