The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable

By:Bobby Matherne on December 01, 2011

Bobby Matherne reviews the book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. "Black swan" refers to "an abruptly appearing, totally unexpected event [including the appearance of an exceptional human being] which has a great impact on the world, but for which the world conjures up ex post facto explanations which makes it all sound reasonable and predictable." Rudolf Steiner and Owen Barfield are among the "black swan innovators" mentioned by Bobby. -- External Link
