Essayist, mathematical statistician and former option trader, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, who is best known for coining and popularizing the term โ€˜Black Swan eventsโ€™, shared some thought-provoking observations recently.

In a piece titled โ€˜The World in Which We Live Nowโ€™, he describes seven overarching socio-economic-geo-political trends that are currently emerging (https://tinyurl.com/2s45efek).

While every single one of them can stop you in your tracks and make you think hard about how we are progressing, the one that really hit home the hardest for me was DYNAMICS AND MISUNDERSTANDING OF HISTORICAL PROCESSES.

With respect to that trend he comments, โ€œBoth GDP and its rate of growth can fool one in projecting future states; but errors from ignoring growth differentials can be monstrous owing to their compounding. When in doubt, use the rate of growth as status quo.โ€

It made me realise how complex the new world we live in is. New technologies โ€“ be it AI, EV, drones, to name a few โ€“ are progressing exponentially. Weโ€™re witnessing wars โ€“ both physical and via trade. The chorus around de-dollarization is growing and fascination with crypto-currencies doesnโ€™t seem to be fading soon enough. Amongst others.

In this increasingly unpredictable world, with indistinct dynamics, his conclusion rings so true: โ€œ๐‘‚๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘œ๐‘—๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘  ๐‘œ๐‘“๐‘ก๐‘’๐‘› ๐‘“๐‘Ž๐‘–๐‘™ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘ข๐‘ ๐‘’ ๐‘ค๐‘’ ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘™๐‘ฆ ๐‘œ๐‘› ๐‘๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘š๐‘–๐‘ก๐‘–๐‘ฃ๐‘’ ๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘™๐‘ฆ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘  ๐‘œ๐‘“ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก, ๐‘–๐‘”๐‘›๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘–๐‘›๐‘” ๐‘ ๐‘’๐‘๐‘œ๐‘›๐‘‘-๐‘œ๐‘Ÿ๐‘‘๐‘’๐‘Ÿ ๐‘’๐‘“๐‘“๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก๐‘ .โ€
