What does it mean to be a self-conscious animal? The idea is ludicrous, if =
it is not monstrous. It means to know that one is food for worms. This is t=
he terror: to have emerged from nothing, to have a name, consciousness of s=
elf, deep inner feelings, an excruciating inner yearning for life and self-=
expression and with all this yet to die. It seems like a hoax, which is why=
 one type of cultural man rebels openly against the idea of God. What kind =
of deity would create such a complex and fancy worm food?

In The Black Swan, Taleb showed us that highly improbable and unpredictable=
 events underlie almost everything about our world. Here Taleb stands uncer=
tainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. The antifragile is=
 beyond the resilient or robust. The resilient resists shocks and stays the=
 same; the antifragile gets better and better.

Just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension, many=
 things in life benefit from stress, disorder, volatility, and turmoil. Wha=
t Taleb has identified and calls antifragile are things that not only gain =
from chaos but need it in order to survive and flourish.

Antifragile is a blueprint for living in a Black Swan world. Erudite, witty=
, and iconoclastic, Taleb's message is revolutionary: the antifragile, and =
only the antifragile, will make it.
