Comment on Nassim Taleb (Black Swan) open letter to David Cameron

Comments

This is ridiculous. The financial crisis was not a "black swan." Many people saw it coming and prepared accordingly. It was only groupthink and willful ignorance which kept most people from doing so.

It's not a black swan for everybody but it's a black swan for a lot of people.
