    You know that there are very very few people in the UK who are creationists right?

    Maybe that's why Cameron is now trying to take UK out of EU. to reduce interdependence and risk contagions coming from EU.

    The problem with Taleb's antifragility model is that when the players all move toward that position, the fragility domain changes and needs to be redefined meanwhile new castles are formed, but it will take corrections to find the new information. This is due to human hubris which cannot be managed.
