Nicholas Taleb

Nassim Nicholas Taleb is a scholar and author known for his work on randomness, risk, and uncertainty. He explores how unpredictable events—called "black swans"—can have major impacts on our lives, markets, and history. Taleb emphasizes that many systems are fragile to rare, extreme events and advocates for designing strategies that are robust or benefit from such unpredictability. His ideas influence finance, science, and decision-making, encouraging a mindset that acknowledges the limits of prediction and values resilience in the face of uncertainty.
