Quotes

  • History does not crawl, it leaps.
  • A black swan is an event that has three attributes: it is an anomaly, it has an extreme impact, and despite its anomaly status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurrence after the fact.
  • We tend to overestimate what we know and underestimate what we don't know.
