Daily Stoic đżStoicism is about the domestication of emotions, not their elimination.
â Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Mix Mistress Aliceđ"Few assets in financial history have been more fragile than bitcoin. The customary standard argument is that âbitcoin has its flaws but we are getting a great technology; we will do wonders with the blockchainâ. No, there is no evidence that we are getting a great technology â unless âgreat technologyâ doesnât mean âusefulâ. And at the time of writing â in spite of all the fanfare â we have done still close to nothing with the blockchain. So we close with a Damascus joke. One vendor was selling the exact same variety of cucumbers at two different prices. âWhy is this one twice the price?â, the merchant was asked. âThey came on higher quality mulesâ was the answer. We only judge a technology by how it solves problems, not by what technological attributes it has.âNassim Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb: âMieux vaut avoir la conscience de lâignorance que la certitude du savoirâ
Ancien trader star de Wall Street ayant grandi dans un Liban en guerre et admirateur de Montaigne ou de Sextus Empiricus⊠Nassim Nicholas Taleb est un drĂŽle dâoiseau. Câest dâailleurs grĂące Ă un volatile devenu concept, le « cygne noir », quâil a donnĂ© les moyens de penser les crises financiĂšres de 2001 et de 2008. Dans un monde de plus en plus incertain, cet iconoclaste invite à « jouer sa peau » et Ă refonder la morale Ă lâĂ©preuve du risque.

Yesterday was surely a day to remember. Yes, there was that assassination attempt on a Presidential candidate (horrific, not shocking given the divisive climate), but honestly I didn't even know about that until hours later. World-changin

We are quick to forget that just being alive is an extraordinary piece of good luck, a remote event, a chance occurrence of monstrous proportions.
