@86Xforce I agree.It's taught like religious doctrine.When you discuss it with
anyone all you get is anger,which to me indicates 'belief' that has been
incorporated into the mind, BUT, lacks truth.The anger comes from the
physical consequences of removing a delusion that's necessary for a
mental paradigm to operate.Alexander Lowen believes that depression
is a consequence of unconscious removal of a delusion from
the mind.
Evolution replaces religion & has same function for most people.

lol @ the amorality of the question
"Is possible to profit from black swans?"
-
-
@echinoidea Evolution does indeed benefit from randomness in the sense that it is randomness at molecular level that creates diversity in DNA and so forth. I like the way he abstained from mentioning that he has made a lot of money betting on negative black swans though lol
-
@echinoidea so freaking true ... he is often talking about psydo scientists using language in the wrong way ... and ends up making the same mistake ..
-
He obviously doesn't understand evolution
-
That was only 5 questions.

Your definition of black swan is wrong. Black swans are completely unforeseeable, but appear to have been foreseeable with hindsight.

@maxmax655 Black swans are foreseeable to an extent, but the point is that they are not foreseeable with inductive and statistical methods, thus making it impossible to use statistical models to map them in the future.
