John, as you know I’ve been reading Mr Taleb for years now, although his books are not for everyone, such as the Bildungphilisters, my curiosity has had me reading his new ideas, too, has always been about the ideas themselves with me. His ideas are very interesting,indeed I can safely say my curiosity has taken me far into the deep.
Furthermore,
Antifragility has layers, moreover, there are weak, strong, local and global properties.
Robustness is necessary as it creates information.
Fragility: one has to be intelligent with dealing with it as, say, a risk manager, yet that which is fragile will eventually break, one can predict the future by simply taking away what is detected as fragile.
These are effects to Black Swans.
Perhaps, once one gets his ideas one becomes lonely with them or not, just saying.
