Antifragile - It's Like He Predicted Drug Commercials

"Via negativa, of course (by removal of the unnatural): only resort to medical techniques when the health payoff is very large (say, saving a life) and visibly exceeds its potential harm, such as incontrovertibly needed surgery or lifesaving medicine (penicillin)... decision making based on payoffs, not knowledge...

And recall that under nonlinearities, the simple statements 'harmful' or 'beneficial' break down: it is all in the dosage...

...a cost benefit situation, usually results from the treacherous condition in which the benefits are small, and visible - and the costs very large, delayed, and hidden. And of course, the potential costs are much worse than the cumulative gains."

Nassim Nicholas Taleb on Socrates

"Socrates' technique was to make his interlocutor, who started with a thesis, agree to a series of statements, then proceed to show him how the statements he agreed to are inconsistent with the original thesis, thus establishing he has no clue as to what he was talking about. Socrates used it mostly to show people how lacking in clarity they were in their thoughts, how little they knew about the concepts they used routinely - and the need for philosophy to elucidate these concepts."

This helped clarify how the Socratic method works but in Taleb's words Fat Tony then eviscerates Socrates. I tended to agree with Fat Tony. Which perhaps was Taleb's objective.

Antifragile

"Authors, artists, and even philosophers are much better off having a vey small number of fanatics behind them than a large number of people who appreciate their work. The number of people who dislike the work don't count - there is no such thing as the opposite of not buying your book, or the equivalent of losing points in a soccer game, and this absence of negative domain for book sales provides the author with a measure of optionality."

This sounds a lot like Kevin Kelly's One Thousand True Fans. Not inferring one copying the other only that when multiple people tell you something is true - follow their advice!
