I won't debate. Not here, not now and - most of all - not on political grounds.

"Technically", survival is about avoiding epic mistakes.
That's being repeatedly violated by intellectually thinned out administrations.

Read #antifragile by #NassimNicholasTaleb

According to #TheBlackSwan author #NassimNicholasTaleb the war in #irak was estimated by #georgewbush to have costs of $30000000000 - 60000000000 (30 - 60 billion $).
In 2012 - including indirect costs - this rather summed up to approx. $2000000000000 ( 2 trillion $ )

I remember well, how that war was announced with supposed possession of weapons of mass destruction in Irak.

#USA citizens and people around the world are already affected by the consequences of #Iran war ... but more to come:

Ich kann wahrscheinlich ab heute #Antifragile von #Taleb lesen! 👍

A little bit of exercise goes a long way.

Steve Magness replies to Nassim Nicholas Taleb's nastiness with some considered analysis of activity and exercise zones, and how they affect aging and health.

It's easy to quote from a book and fall in the (mild) hypocricy trap. Especially when you already know what the book is about, and had countless discussions about it's content. And yet, you haven't read a single page... So I am reading the Black Swan by Nassim Nicolas Taleb.
Will this read change the course of my life? 🤔
