An earthquake on the Pacific Rim is far, far from being a black Swan.
If you can't build a nuclear plant, or a dam, while accounting for expected events, then maybe don't.
- defrost 3y agoAn earthquake isn't a black swan event, correct. An earthquake of that magnitude, creating a Tsunami of that strength, striking in just the wrong place .. is very much a black swan event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilFEKSZQv5o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilFEKSZQv5o By your 'logic' no dam can be built as they all stand a chance of a direct hit from a meteorite. Risk-wise the Fukushima nuclear disaster cause less direct and indirect death than many accidents and natural disasers .. including deaths from, say, fertilizer depot explosions, oil rig accidents, etc.
