The black swan

Arguing that not every event is predictable, former Wall Street trader turned writer and philosopher Nassim Nicholas Taleb discusses his Black Swan Theory. He explains that not even experts can foresee black swans (for example, the September 11th tragedy) nor can they assess the impact these events will make on the world.
