Anticipating (versus reacting to) the next black swan
- jbuzbee 16y agoA bit of a funny story - Took the family to see "The Black Swan" when it first hit the theaters without knowing anything about it. So on the way there, I was explained the concept of a Black Swan as a rare-event, an outlier, etc. Needless to say, I was a bit red-faced during the lesbian ballerina scenes. "Uh, Honey, this is a -different- kind of Black Swan"...
- alex_carlill 16y agothe whole definition of "black swan" is an event that can't be predicted or anticipated - so this article is completely meaningless
- quintendf 16y agoA bit of a silly headline, considering that the very essence of a Black Swan is that it cannot be anticipated or predicted in any way. The article text does a slightly better job of clarifying this fact, but still a little misleading.
