Nassim Taleb

Nassim Taleb is a philosopher, mathematician, and former trader known for his work on uncertainty, risk, and decision-making. He introduced concepts like "Black Swan" events, which are unexpected, high-impact occurrences that we often rationalize after the fact. Taleb argues that our understanding of the world is limited and that we should focus on strategies that are resilient to unforeseen changes rather than trying to predict the future. His writings, especially in "The Black Swan" and "Antifragile," emphasize the importance of embracing uncertainty and preparing for the unexpected in various aspects of life and finance.
