Influenced by Randomness II
I continue to read and be influenced in a (very) good way by Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s marvellous Fooled by Randomness. My first post (only) nine days ago on how the book was impacting me seems like a long time ago:
1. The mental state required to engage with his work means that I feel like I’m blowing some cobwebs from the furthest recesses of my brain. I had to scan a couple of articles earlier today in the Harvard Business Review and it felt like I was reading the Sun.
2. It makes me feel a bit intellectually cowed/ inadequate. I like this because it makes me strive to be better and relax into thinking in a better way
