something one can learn from. Of course that guy felt so uncomfortable that dude all up on him. I felt uncomfortable too at some point.

I really don't see anything particularly novel about this idea of antifragility except clever marketing of a specific term. This idea seems well summed up by old familiar homilies such as: whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger..... If life gives you a lemon, make lemonade..... the bigger they are, they harder they fall. etc... So kudos for Taleb's entrepreneurial spirit but I take this idea as something new with a grain of salt but maybe he doesn't intend that, it's just a very complex reminder of simple (forgotten? under siege?) truths; after all the founding fathers had this idea long ago with federalism.

Typically, critics of NNT respond with personal attacks or straw men, rather than address his points (with some notable exceptions, such as Marcus Avelino below). This suggests that they are unable to refute his points and thus adds credibility. English is not his first language, but he communicates well enough in English for the truly interested to understand. His imperfect English provides the accidental benefit of weeding out those with only casual interest. Besides, his English is infinitely better than my Lebanese (Levantine Aramaic/Arabic), so I am in no position to critcize.

Ele é um homem brilhante. Meu principal mentor, porém não entendo um detalhe. Vejo alguns videos do Nassim e percebo o quanto ele parece engordar e tornar-se visivelmente mais velho. Li Antifrágil e fico interessado nos conselhos sobre um estilo de vida semelhante ao Paleo, sobre o jejum intermitente e suas demais observações. Complica quando ele menciona Art de Vany, como exemplo desse estilo. Porém, Art de Vany, com uma idade bem superior ao de Nassim, parece estar bem melhor fisicamente que o próprio.

Wow.. He is a brilliant man but I can't, for the life of me, understand why he thinks it's acceptable to mumble during a public speech.

There is a word for something or someone who benefits from volatility or chaos - you could call it 'Agile' rather than Antifragile. An organisation that is Agile can put in place approaches that enable it to develop responses that gain from mistakes / errors / volatility. 

Nassim Taleb makes some good points, but is overrated. I am mathematically critiquing his definition and normative use of Antifragility. It is an imcomplete justification, empty and dependent on context.

It's really good this guy writes books because he's pronunciation is terrible.
