Nassim Nicholas Taleb Quotes

Let Me Simplify My Take On Intervention. To Me It Is Mostly About Having A Systematic Protocol To Determine When To Intervene And When To Leave Systems Alone. And We May Need To Intervene To Control The Iatrogenics Of Modernity - Particularly The Large-scale Harm To The Environment And The Concentration Of Potential (though Not Yet Manifested) Damage, The Kind Of Thing We Only Notice When It Is Too Late. The Ideas Advanced Here Are Not Political, But Risk-management Based. I Do Not Have A Political Affiliation Or Allegiance To A Specific Party; Rather, I Am Introducing The Idea Of Harm And Fragility Into The Vocabulary So We Can Formulate Appropriate Policies To Ensure We Don't End Up Blowing Up The Planet And Ourselves.
