The Black Swan

The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. Revised edition, Penguin Group, New York, 2010, 379 pp. This book is about the profound subjects of thinking, knowing, understanding, and then acting (or just as often, refraining from acting) on understanding.

Uncle Sam, May I?

The US elections this past November 6 were dominated by a close presidential race whose partisans, if not the candidates themselves, seemed to entertain mutually hostile visions of how government should proceed into the future.

The Number of Victims of Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp (1936-1945)
