I'd bet that the only 'job' Taleb would say was antifragile would be something like entrepreneurship.

- JamesArgo 13y agoI don't know about that. My model of Taleb has him pointing out the many dangers of entrepreneurship, and the myriad biases which lead people to underestimate the risks of starting a business--survivorship bias et all.
- lhnz 13y agoActually, I'm kind of wrong -- but kind of right. Pg. 80 says "You are the source of our anti-fragility" in regards to entrepreneurs. Basically it's lots of small fragililities which tend to create anti-fragility - hundreds of entrepreneurs trying to create businesses and failing over and over again, causes economic growth. If you are able to live cheaply, and learn a lot doing something risky, you are being anti-fragile.
