This Lebanon born thinker recently published the book "The Black Swan". He defines events of low probability and high consequence as Black Swans, besides, once they occurred most of us think that we understand them.
It seems to me that what he has discovered is the way our mind handles the external world. This way of thinking was more useful in the past when things did not happen as fast as now nor were of the high variety of types that cross our lives these days.
It may be possible to re-tune our brains to this new world. If I can re-tune my mind, I will write it here how.
