Quotes by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The world is in three or more dimension. 1) In Two-Dimensions: Most people see it in two dimensions, but with some clarity --imagine what you miss living in a 3D world mistaking it for a 2D one. You get a lot of things right, but you do not understand the world. 2) In One-Dimension: Many see it with extreme precision, but in one single dimension (and don't know it). Almost all the time, they destroy knowledge. On the occasion, their precision allows them to hit on something real --but it is a rare Black Swan. 3) In Three or More Dimensions: Finally, a few, very few, see it in blurred three dimensions. They see things blurred, but they see them as they are.
