Black Swan
The Black Swan is a probabilistic theory, created by Nassim Taleb, a former trader who wrote a textbook on option and market making, and then became more philosophical in his bestseller The Black Swan. A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has a major impact. Black swans are explained post facto with the help of hindsight. Black Swan events are almost impossible to predict yet have far-reaching consequences, therefore, people should always assume that a Black Swan event would take place & plan accordingly.
Whether we observe an event as the black swan event depends upon the observer. The Thanksgiving turkey sees his demise as a black swan, but the butcher does not.
Some Black Swan events:
Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, when Asian tigers busted amidst a period of long continuous economic growth.
Dot Com crash of 2000, when massive speculation and interest in Internet stocks resulted in a big crash.
Crash of 9/11/2001, when terrorist attacks on US soil killed innocent civilians, gave a blow to stocks, and changed the geopolitics of the world.
U.S. housing market crash of 2008, when subprime mortgages led to the crash of the housing market.
Entrepreneurs, Hacker & Painters
Entrepreneurs are hackers ; they make things happen in new and unconventional ways. They may tread into grey areas and find a way to work around conventional problems. Entrepreneur and investor Paul Graham wrote a book Hackers & Painters
about Startups, Hackers, Painters, Wealth Creation, and productivity. This book has some very useful insights from a brilliant mind.
BOTH MORALS AND FASHION trends are temporary, which is why nerds don’t care about either of them. The statements that make people maddest are those they worry might be true.
Hackers are more like painters than mathematicians.
