Things that gain from disorder

Antifragile – Things that gain from disorder

Antifragile is a great book with a number of interesting new ideas. The German subtitle means “Instructions for a world we do not understand” .

In one sentence, a fragile glass falls to the ground and shatters – a antifragile glass falls to the ground, doesn’t break and is even getting stronger through this. Other Examples :

Antifragile :

• Open to unforeseen incidents
• Estimation of errors, because here they are small and insignificant
• Tinkering with random Try
• Taxi drivers, Artisans
• Decentralized Systems
• Well read
• Entrepreneurs
• Silicon Valley
• Acute stress followed by extended recovery periods
• Small and not specialized
• Adventurer, Hobbyists
• Debt Free
• Immune to incorrect predictions
• In case of illness, instead of adding medicine, letting things away
• Changes – instead of always constant
• No compromises
• Things which have long endures
• Small loads, Stressors
• Investments: 90% absolutely sure, 10% high risk
• Sometimes procrastination
• The nature

I’ve read the 600 pages + 100 pages annex in a few evenings – super exciting and very inspiring.

A completely new way of seeing things and life, thoughts:

• What is getting better and more beautiful when getting older?
• What has long stock and will exist for a long time?
• The beauty of used goods and facilities, patina ..
• Bones are reinforced at stress – Unused they get weaker
• What is fun and interesting ?
• Against conventional schools
• No pampering – not putting everything away from children
• A lot is found and discovered by accident
• Recognize opportunities and benefits!
