"And that’s what Antifragile people do. They accept that most of what they do will fail. Most of what they say, think and believe will be wrong. And yet they keep going – doing, saying , believing, and being wrong."
Isn't turning this into the cliche "fail fast, fail often, succeed in the end" still missing the point? As is trying to apply the principle to an individual?
It's about encouraging high levels of risk taking because of it's benefit to society as a whole even though the individuals involved are accepting a path with an irrational risk/reward balance.
So an "antifragile person" would do these types of things knowing that they should expect to die less successful than if they had taken another path, but they do it anyway and if enough people do it the result is that society benefits.
