Nicholas B. Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a scholar and author known for his work on uncertainty, risk, and randomness. He explores how rare, unpredictable events—called "Black Swans"—can have profound impacts on markets, science, and life. Taleb emphasizes that humans often underestimate these rare events and patterns, which can lead to significant surprises. His ideas encourage building systems that are resilient to shocks and understanding our limitations in predicting complex outcomes. Through books like "The Black Swan," he advocates for humility and robustness in decision-making amid unpredictable, complex realities.
