The Well-Lived Life
Gladys McGarey and Mark Hyman
I have shown in Antifragile that most things that we believe were “invented” by universities were actually discovered by tinkering and later legitimized by some type of formalization. The knowledge we get by tinkering, via trial and error, experience, and the workings of time, in other words, contact with the earth, is vastly superior to that obtained through reasoning, something self-serving institutions have been very busy hiding from us.
Skin in the Game
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
The means of getting the key back varies with each man, but suffice it to say that democratic or nonlinear approaches will not carry the day. One rather stiff young man danced one night for about six hours, vigorously, and in the morning remarked, “I got some of the key back last night.” Another man regained the key when he acted like a wholehearted Trickster for the first time in his life, remaining fully conscious of the tricksterism. Another man stole the key when he confronted his family and refused to carry any longer the shame for the whole family.
