| "Dense" as in closely packed but also "dense" as in not very pellucid. Consider the following: - Quote :
- When constrained systems, those hungry for natural disorder, collapse, as they are eventually bound to, since they are fragile, failure is never seen as the result of fragility.
This comes from the book I decided to read because Kahneman was pissing me off. It's "Antifragile" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb (and annoyingly he keeps quoting Kahneman). It is dense in both senses. It is not without humor, and the author is whip smart, but man-oh-man, some better editing would do wonders. - Quote :
- When fragile constrained systems collapse, as they are eventually bound to because they are hungry for natural disorder, their failure is never seen as the result of fragility.
