Book Discussion: Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

​This month, we will be discussing The Black Swan, which explores how rare, unpredictable events—not incremental progress—shape markets, technology, and history. Nassim Nicholas Taleb argues that humans consistently underestimate uncertainty, overtrust models and forecasts, and mistake hindsight for understanding. For founders and those operating in fast-moving technological environments, the book reframes risk, decision-making, and innovation—encouraging strategies that are resilient to shocks, positioned to benefit from upside volatility, and skeptical of false certainty. In an era of rapid technological change and AI-driven disruption, The Black Swan offers essential mental tools for navigating what we cannot predict.

​You do not need to have finished the book in order to attend this discussion.
