Subscribe now to SRF Kultur Sternstunden on YouTube ???? https://www.youtube.com/srfkulturster... The invention of the Internet. The attack on the World Trade Center. The financial crisis that began in 2007. Such world-changing major events usually happen unexpectedly. This is what Lebanese risk researcher Nassim Taleb claims in his bestseller "The Black Swan - The Power of Highly Improbable Events". According to Taleb, our world is too complex for us to understand. Instead of making predictions, we should train ourselves to develop a quality that he calls "antifragility". Taleb understands this as the power to become stronger through crises and hardship. In the program "Sternstunde Philosophie", the extremely sought-after but media-shy thinker reveals why we should expect that in 30 years there will still be books but no more smartphones. As a rule, if something has existed for a long time, it will continue to exist for a long time to come.
