Antifragile is better than Black Swan. If you don’t want to commit and read a big fat book, try the waters with Skin in the Game.

So I don't know anything about this dude but is he boring ?

Like for example take the title: Antifragile
Is he going to push that as a characteristic for things that are resilient or get harder to break the more they are exposed to something ?

I don't mean to offend because I know he's liked on /lit/ but I hate reading something if I feel like I already know what happens.

Tell me if I'm wrong.

Holy cringe, can you stop browsing Taleb threads and just go play with your butt plug or something? I never fail to spot your reddit samefaggotry.

In all honesty you're confusing me with someone else. I'm not baiting. Just tell me if I'm wrong on that.

I don't know man.
That's why I made the thread. To know which book to start with.
Why is Antifragile better than Black Swan in the first place ? Shouldn't it be about different things ?

Antifragile is his central work, and deals with everything, including Black Swan.

Skip it all and start with the technical incerto.

he's definitely not boring. his books are a fun read. anti fragile is about applying this ant fragile principle to many aspects of life. essentially fragility is when something breaks in response to shock. resilience means it doesn't break or improve. antifragile is the property by which something improves in response to shocks.

he just expands this principle across many areas. worth reading anon, its a very informative book which will make you giggle at how stupid/wicked our ruling class is.
