In his new, sharply provocative and at the same time extremely pragmatic book, the inimitable Nicholas Nassim Taleb tells how important it is to identify and filter nonsense, to distinguish theory from practice, superficial competence from real. You will learn what rationality is in complex systems and the real world, symmetry and asymmetry, and what is the logic of taking risks. Giving new meaning to familiar concepts such as “a just society”, “professional success”, “personal responsibility”, and not being afraid to hurt the egos of recognized idols, Taleb debunks the hypocritical ideas and actions of apologists for military intervention, stock market investors and religious preachers. Using the examples of Hammurabi and Jesus Christ, Roman and Byzantine emperors, Seneca and Donald Trump, Taleb shows that the most important quality that unites famous heroes, selfless saints and brilliant businessmen is not to transfer risk to others. “I love being surprised. In accordance with the principle of mutual benefit, I invite the reader on a journey that I myself would enjoy. (Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
