I do not believe in the track record of advice-giving "philosophy" in helping us deal with the problem; nor do I believe that virtues can be easily taught; nor do I urge people to strain in order to avoid making a judgment. Why? Because we have to deal with humans as humans. We cannot teach people to withhold judgment; judgments are embedded in the way we view objects. I do not see a "tree;" I see a pleasant or an ugly tree, It is not possible without great, paralyzing effort to strip these small values we attach to matters. Likewise, it is not possible to hold a situation in one's head without some element of bias. Something in our dear human nature makes us want to believe; so what? --Nassim Nicholas Taleb --The Black Swan
N.N.T. for today
💯 "nor do I believe that virtues can be EASILY taught"
Billionaires with access to everything cannot grasp very simple concepts that are easily apparent to the poor, weak, unpretty and broken.
Anyone ever seen a humble billionaire?

What is the most potent use of our brain? It is precisely the ability to project conjectures into the future and play the counterfactual game-"If I punch him in the nose, then he will punch me back right away, or, worse, call his lawyer in New York." One of the advantages of doing so is that we can let our conjectures die in our stead. Used correctly and in place of more visceral reactions, the ability to project effectively frees us from immediate, first-order natural selection—In a way, projecting allows us to cheat evolution: it now takes place in our head, as a series of projections and counterfactual scenarios. --Nassim Nicholas Taleb --The Black Swan
N.N.T. The Black Swan paragraph I liked today.
It is interesting to read and think about HOW we think.

Someone with a low degree of epistemic arrogance is not too visible, like a shy person at a cocktail party. We are not predisposed to respect humble people, those who try to suspend judgment. Now contemplate epistemic humility. Think of someone heavily introspective, tortured by the awareness of his own ignorance. He lacks the courage of the idiot, yet has the rare guts to say "I don't know." He does not mind looking like a fool or, worse, an ignoramus. He hesitates, he will not commit, and he agonizes over the consequences of being wrong. He introspects, introspects, and introspects until he reaches physical and nervous exhaustion. This does not necessarily mean that he lacks confidence, only that he holds his own knowledge to be suspect. The Black Swan asymmetry allows you to be confident about what is wrong, not about what you believe is right. --Nassim Nicholas Taleb --The Black Swan
Last one, I am spent.

Favorite paragraph for today.
A thought experiment...
Out of context and not the whole quote but I love the deserving snark.
"Assume a legislator with courage, influence, intellect vision and persiverance.
I know this is lunacy, but it is just a thought experiment"
