Naval Ravikant mentioned The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb 4 times

The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms, by Nassim Taleb, who is famous for The Black Swan and Fooled by Randomness. I sort of like his collection of ancient wisdom, In the Bed of Procrustes.

@pkedrosky Poor Charlie's Almanac, Black Swan, & Rational Optimist Most self-proclaimed business books are anecdotes presented as tomes.

I then moved on to Dean Simonton’s observations, beautifully covered in Marc’s article. My thinking was driven by books like "The Black Swan," "Fooled by Randomness," DeVany’s analysis of Hollywood Economics and Home-Run Hitting, and a casual observation of how Evolution creates things (massive trial and error).
