Part 2 of Antifragile: bit.ly/2u5MpAw

A realistic antifragile smartphone would benefit from falls by transforming that energy into battery

Love the way you explained this. Great examples. I honestly found Nassim difficult to understand and this helped a lot. Thanks!

Reminds me of the saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

20:12 got me! - thanks for a great summary. It's an excellent book but it can be sometimes difficult to absorb at once due to the amount of knowledge included - this is where summaries like this fit perfectly.

you are most most most underrated youtuber.

Antifragile is the best thing I've ever read in my whole life. This is literally what I've been looking for..and I'm definitely gonna teach it to my son too

Thanks for sharing. I really think that this antifragile concept is the most important common factor among rich people, apart from habits or self discipline and etc.

I love this series Erik! Thank you so much for putting it together, you inspired me to goo ahead and make a series of videos on Nassim Taleb as well that I just published on my channel. Fortsätt det fantastiska arbetet bror!

Thank you so much for making these videos about takeaways and summaries of books on finance.

I am going to use this for my high school psychology students. Excellent breakdown of Antifragility.

Haha, thanks for the summary man. I read it as well, and I agree its an awesome book

Thanks Alot Swedish Investor! Really appreciate what you are doing for us, young generation!

how did I not get this recommended, and got cat videos instead? Google, do your job. recommend this to me instead of me finding it randomly by searching for Nassim's summaries.

I read the book and your summary is accurate! Thank you ☺️

What excellent videos you make. Thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing this! You are awesome!

Hey how do you make your videos? Do you use PPT? Great content have subbed. You encourage me to do more sir

SI, i love your work. Its so great!

These are awesome! Thanks man!!!

He is probably one of the greatest thinkers of this era.

17:00 The Rational Male!! You should do a summary of the Rational Male by Rollo Tomasi

Excellent summary..

Survival of the Fittest is not about the “better” surviving. It is about the “fit” surviving as in a fit for a given situation.

Great video. 💯👏. explained very well

I have been in a bus from Göteborg to Budapest ! I know the kind of ride you are referring to .

thank you so much ! You are bomb

AWESOME 👍

thanks again... cant afford the book.... just too many important lessons to learn and not afford to pass up.

5:54 No one would dare remove that stressor from their lives.

Great summary

Could you do a review on the book Wealthy Barber?

Great video! I find it ironic that Taleb uses quotes from Buffet and Dalio about investing to justify his barbell strategy for investing, meanwhile Buffet and Dalio both didn't invest with barbell strategies at all!

Please make video on Zurich Axioms

Great stuff man !

You rock!

Thank you

Side note: Bear service is identical in German ... and probably french because of this guy‘s fable en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bear_and_the_Gardener

6:04 Guess the colleague is corona free now.

SI, how do you animate your videos?

🙏 Thanks Sir

"Up to a certain point". The point of diminishing returns. The point of failure. At the end of the day then, everything is fragile. Entropy fucks us all, eventually.

25 seconds in, and I already have questions regarding the antifragility of UKpostsrs. It's literally a centralized system Taleb rails against in the book. UKposts could update their ToS tomorrow and just delete your account, which would be your version of a black swan event. Maybe you explain it in the video, but I hope it isn't a comparison to cab drivers or prostitutes.

Good video.

Awesome

Books from the like of Taleb deserve more views.

How to create these visuals ? Any tool ?

And here we are, at the black swan years of 2020-21

Knowledge in this video is antifragile.

How do you make the drawings and get them into a video? Probably a dumb question but still. Thanks :)

Funny, it's "bear favour" in Russian as well. I wonder, in how many languages that expression exists

You said 5 times 20 instead of 20 times 5 and showed exactly the inverted curve for fragility versus velocity. It’s concave upwards not downwards.

If phones could multiply by falling on the ground that would be really scary! There would be clipping real life glitches and free space of the world would end sooner

Great video. But, as Taleb would point out, evolution doesn't always result in better 'genes' or species nor is it a route to 'perfection'.

My unpopular opinion is that anti fragility is an oversimplification of how external circumstances impact human behavior, and could potentially be abused to excuse poor behavior.

It’s like the movie “Unbreakable”

Bear favor is the same in Russian.

Man your visuals are amazing but you should consider talking a little bit slower. To talk in a slow, steady pace is a treat of every good teacher.

The smartphone example is so shallow and dumb. Is that really in the book?

TLDR: Make your trades based on risk-reward perspective, not based on probabilities. Markets are uncertain and how uncertain these uncertainties are is also uncertain, hence betting on probability makes less sense if the future is unpredictable itself.

antifragile: "What Doesn't Kill Me Makes Me Stronger"?

Thanks for the review. I don't reckon a youtuber is a good example of anti-fragile though. Your only threat is not jail; youtube demonetises and censors videos, forcing you to live (and potentially lie) under whatever it considers PC. An anti-fragile youtuber would have to have a second outlet, or soemthing.

Great vid, but didn't think the example of sexual selection you chose is appropriate. The message(as I interpreted): 'women choose to marry stability, and sometimes cheat with an alpha' reinforces negative stereotypes of women. There are going to be women that cheat on their husbands, but there are many that do not, some don't even care about sex. Not saying you're intentionally being misogynistic, I'm sure your intentions are in the right place. I think it's important to ask, 'what does it say when I choose this example for my presentation,' because regardless of intent a publicly broadcasted message has an influence. I believe the message in your example reinforces these problematic stereotypes: The idea of the bitch/unfaithful wife/gf The idea that relationships are predominately about sex The idea that everyone normal cares about sex The idea of women capitalizing on men for security The idea of the sexual marketplace (a core idea that perpetuates fragility in incel culture) and more we don't have time for here... I'm not trying to disparage you in any way. In fact, I'm acting as a stressor to your antifragile views on the institution of discrimination we have. I hope this encourages you to look more into how these ideals are perpetuated in our everyday culture, and I also hope you have a great day

Interesting! I heard about Taleb's theories before, but this is a nice way to demonstrate what it means. Not so sure about some of the examples though... Dropping an iphone to get two?! Also, you claim that humans are a monogamous species. We're not and I it implies a criticism of people who are not. I'm fine with that, but interestingly I think monogamy can be seen as a robust, or even fragile, but not an antifragile system. It is relatively stable and can resist most outside disruptions, but when it gets put under significant stress, it tends to fail. Singlehood and non-monogamous forms of relationships may be more antifragile. They create support systems where larger groups of people are committed to solving problems, and solving problems they grow stronger bonds, enabling future collaboration. Not perfectly, but certainly something to consider. This after the suggestions by Simon(e) van Saarloos in their book about monogamy.

When helping hurts.

In Russian is the same "bear favor"

I AM ANTI~FRAGILE!!⚔️🛡

2:42 you example of the Vikings being fragile does not make sense and this is just what I encountered in the book too. Often than not an example is taken out of context and other examples are so incredible intuitive that they don’t deserve to be mentioned at all. The main focus of the book should have been on how to make things Antifragile and not plenty of descriptions and things taken out of context

5:54 didn't age too well, did it? :D Just kidding though, great video!

2:07 And the first "boring" activity was invented.

I am Fragile, but not that fragile. Hideo Nassim Kojima

Anybody watching this in 2020 (during Covid-19 quarantine) from the U.S. and thinking, "Naive interventionism is currently holding the markets up during this pandemic and now things will be worse once the inevitable happens." No? Just me? 😳😅

The hand sanitizer thing didn't age well.

Alice Miller called antifragile parenting toxic or poison pedagogy, believing it builds character. Also Ayn Rand

key takeaway: "negative comments and thumbsdown boost the youtube algorithm ... I don't know how many times I've been recommended to watch something on the basis of how horrible, cringy, crazy, or just plain bad it supposedly was"

The weight lifting examples are wrong according to Devon Larrat, a world champion arm wrestler.

Bro knows hypergamy

7:58 lolll

I’m guessing Silver/Gold is the ultimate antifragile investment

youtubers don'w gain from randomness or stress, youtube as a system does.

Your take on this philosophy seems to be quite one sided. Still interesting as an introduction, but as someone not very interested in money as a store of wealth, but only as a measure of value (which to me is an example of an antifragile system for trade that became a fragile system for security by adding a layer of abstraction) it stands out..

Done voted for too many ads.

Lol .... ray dalio should practice wt he preach ......... his fund got fked up now

17:20 randomly straying into MGTOW/red pill territory. God, I love UKposts

Steal is antifragile More we strike, stronger it gets.

I would posit that Afghanistan is antifragile.

7:10 Americans have an expressions for this. "If it isn't broke, don't fix it."

Could do without the sound effects

I really like your Book Summaries, and with only the right intentions I would like to point out that I've noticed some sexist remarks in your videos. Subtle stereotypes like 'the woman securing the beta male and cheating with the alpha male' are not appreciated. I would request you to please review your content for remarks such as this.

#Bitcoin

20:10 exposure is what you need to prepare for crazy

lol HIIT is so antifragile

My bitcoin investment strategy is anti fragile, if the price goes up, I make money, if the price goes down, I get to buy bitcoin for cheaper price

the tyranny of words by stuart chase

100 kg for 1 rep and 10 kg for 10 reps is not a very good example. But very good video overall. The background music is a bit funny

The common thing between viking and pewdiepie they are sweedish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
