Nassim Nicholas Taleb's ideas

I consider Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s ideas and work essential. All his books are indispensable: Fooled By Randomness, The Black Swan, Antifragile, and Skin In The Game.

Some concepts created or popularized by him:

  • Uncertainty.
  • Non-linearity.
  • Fat-tailed distribution.
  • Winner-take-all effect.
  • Optionality.
  • Convex/Concave strategies.
  • Black Swan theory.
  • Antifragile.
  • Via negativa.
  • Ergodicity.
  • Lindy effect.
  • Skin in the game.
  • Intellectual Yet Idiot.
  • Iatrogenics.
  • Barbell strategy.
  • Green Lumber fallacy.
  • Intolerant minority.
