Nassim Taleb in a book curiously titled Antifragile. Here is the core of the idea. We can think about three categories of objects: Ones that are harmed by volatility and unpredictability, ones that are neutral to volatility and unpredictability, and finally, ones that benefit from it.
Patricia Mou added
The Antifragile mindset is a unique one. Whenever possible, try to create scenarios where randomness and uncertainty are your friends, not your enemies.
En 2011, Nassim Taleb publie un livre sur un concept qu’il baptise « antifragilité ». Taleb explique que certains systèmes s’affaiblissent sous l’effet du stress imposé par des forces extérieures, alors que d’autres se renforcent au contraire dans les mêmes conditions23
The latter category is antifragile—like a package that wants to be mishandled. Up to a point, certain things benefit from volatility, and that’s how we want to be. Why? Because the world is fundamentally unpredictable and volatile, and large events—panics, crashes, wars, bubbles, and so on—tend to have a disproportionate impact on outcomes.
