Bitcoin is Antifragile: Intro to Nassim Taleb’s “Antifragile” w/ Mike Kelly (WiM564)

Mike Kelly joins me to explore Nassim Taleb’s book “Antifragile”, the central triad of fragility, robustness, and antifragility, the problems with separating “skin in the game” from risk, how Bitcoin embodies antifragility, the danger of centralized planning, the role of adversity in growth, and the importance of agency in a world where humans are programmable. Michael J Kelly III, is the producer of WiM and creative strategist with a passion for natural science and the intersection of politics and biology.
