@alundbergh of these, the ones I have read:

Antifragile + Black Swan;
Signal and the Noise;
Risk Savvy;
SuperForecasting;
Sam Kaner, of course;
Knowledge Illusion;
Navigating Complexity;
Streetlights and Shadows;

@alundbergh

@alundbergh

@alundbergh I would recommend:
As intros, The Knowledge Illusion, and Tetclok. And later Streetlights and shadows, and anything by Gigerenzer and Klein really : )
Taleb only to read with caution. Extremely intelligent but lost in hubris and crass generalizations

1/n: “Everything gains or loses from volatility. Fragility is what loses from volatility and uncertainty.”

Had 4-5 uninterrupted flight hours this Friday. Re-read #Antifragile by @nntaleb. So here’re some nuggets/quotes/insights from one of my favorite books. #TweetThread 👇🏼

2: Some things seem to improve if they are placed in environments of volatility and unpredictability. ‘Antifragile’ analyzes why this is the case. It suggests that this quality has been vital for the progress of human civilization since ancient times.

3: Taleb describes that something is antifragile when it gets better with chaos, disorder, and time whereas anything fragile hates volatility.

Nature is the ultimate example of something antifragile as it can adapt and gets stronger with difficult times.

Thread on #GDP, the environment and happiness. As I have already repeatedly pointed out here, GDP is often charged with all the evils of the world, but that is mostly because both the people who use it and those who criticize think it measures things it doesni't measure /

@DianeCoyle1859

First of all: most of the things I will write here are discussed at length in the excellent "GDP: A Brief but Affectionate History" by @DianeCoyle1859 , a book that I consider a masterpiece of economics explained to a general public.

As was said about Hannibal Lecter, if you want to understand evil (or GDP 😉) you need to go back to its origins. Rudimentary attempts to measure national income have existed for centuries. Some of them were actually really valiant attempts, given the state of data at the time

I bet many of you were following along during the #CopyPasteCris fiasco, right? Well, during that time, I stumbled into something. A small group of readers pointed out a mess that many authors only recently discovered-- but these readers had been talking about it *FOR MONTHS*

What was IT?

I've been calling it book regurgitation. And if you're a lover of the Motorcyle Romance subgenre. or you dig 'bad boy romance'.. wow, are those infested. And I do mean infested.

Look at this shit. Nicole Fox & Naomi West on display here.

@authorstarling

Now this is *not* plagiarism. These are folks who collectively sell the rights amongst themselves... as demonstrated here by @authorstarling on a site could Dirty Discourse. (they don't like it when you say bad things about them, from what I've heard. Hey, DD.) OR...
