Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Philosopher)

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a philosopher, statistician, and author best known for his work on uncertainty and risk. He explores how unexpected events, or "Black Swans," profoundly impact our lives and societies. Taleb emphasizes the limits of human knowledge in predicting rare occurrences and promotes the idea of embracing uncertainty rather than trying to eliminate it. His influential books, particularly "The Black Swan," encourage individuals and organizations to adopt more resilient strategies in the face of unpredictability and to understand how fragile systems can collapse due to unforeseen factors.
