Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s five-book series on living in a world we do not understand: Fooled by Randomness (we mistake luck for skill), The Black Swan (rare unpredictable events run history, and we explain them afterwards as if they were obvious), The Bed of Procrustes (aphorisms), Antifragile (some things GAIN from disorder, and the opposite of fragile was never robust) and Skin in the Game (never take advice from someone who risks nothing). One long argument, five angles, zero diplomacy.
