Just finished writing my section on #Europe for the Q4 Outlook, during the process I reread some of my older sections...This one stood out as worth revisiting not just in the context of Europe but for its broader applications...#Systems #Fragility #GlobalTrends (1/7) 
2/7 "Fragility is quite measureable, risk not so at all, particularly risk associated with rare events." - NN Taleb #Risk #Fragility #Systems
3/7 "Complex systems that have artificially suppressed volatility tend to become extremely fragile, while at the same time exhibiting no visible risks. In fact, they tend to be too calm & exhibit minimal variability as silent risks accumulate beneath the surface." - Taleb/Blythe
4/7 "...there is no freedom without noise & no #stability without volatility." - Taleb/Smythe #Risk #Systems #Fragility
5/7 #SocialConflict "Repeated punishment, while it crushes the hatred of a few, stirs the hatred of all..just as trees that have been trimmed throw out again countless new branches." - Seneca #Systems #Fragility #Risk
6/7 "Trigger analysis should focus on contexts instead of specific events." - JE Margolis #Systems #Analysis #Risk
7/7 "As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown." - N. Foster #Systems #Risks #Fragility #EU
