Poem of the Issue
Best to ignore TV and newspapers—
listen to conversations
go to parties for direct input—
do not trust suits or ties
talking heads or commentators—
they are all in the zoo
and cannot see the bars
around their thinking processes.
Go with what works—be ecologically conservative,
be magnanimous and compassionate
but tenacious...
but most of all—be the black swan,
and never accept anything less
than positivity,
truth and direct evidence.
Be Randomness.
—Thom the World Poet, from
“Saieth Nassim Nicholas Taleb"
