“.WHY THE SWAN LOGO?” FALSIFICATIONISM.
—“Why do you use a black swan as your symbol?”—Spooky Question @QuestionMThings
—“P is a completion of scientific method which works by falsification. No matter how many white swans you see, it doesn’t justify a claim that black swans don’t exist (Hume).”—Martin Št?pán
That is, of course, the correct answer. 😉
And …. Via Taleb:
– Counter-intuitive, radical, unpredictable events are more influential than the foreseeable.
– What you don’t know and don’t predict is what will harm you.
– Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
– Seek Stresses for fitness (survival).
And … it’s Elegant, Rare, and Beautiful. 😉
And … it’s a peaceful normie-friendly icon.”
(Note that we are distancing ourselves from Taleb now that he’s gone over the edge.)
