Tragedy and Hilarity

I just dipped my toe in Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan." What an eye-opening read.

It confirms my sneaking suspicion that what we don't know is probably more important than what we do know. And what we do know is more limited and flawed than we think.

We don't know what we don't know, and foolish beings that we are, we think we know more than we really do.

And we think that what we don't know isn't really all that important.

Which leads us to all kinds of tragedy and hilarity.
