Fooled by Randomness pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent two decades as a risk taker before becoming a full-time essayist and scholar focusing on practical and philosophical problems with chance, luck, and probability. His focus in on how different systems handle disorder.
He now spends most of his time in the intense seclusion of his study, or as a flâneur meditating in cafés. In addition to his life as a trader he spend several years as an academic researcher ( Distinguished Professor at New York University's School of Engineering, Dean's Professor at U. Mass Amherst).
He is the author of the Incerto (latin for uncertainty), accessible in any order (Antifragile, The Black Swan, The Bed of Procrustes, and Fooled by Randomness) plus a freely available technical version, Silent Risk. Taleb has also published close to 55 academic and scholarly papers as a backup, technical footnotes to the Incerto in topics ranging from Statistical Physics to International affairs. The Incerto has more than 150 translations in 39 languages.
Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.
""Imagine someone with the erudition of Pico de la Mirandola, the skepticism of Montaigne, solid mathematical training, a restless globetrotter, polyglot, enjoyer of fine wines, specialist of financial derivatives, irrepressible reader, and irascible to the point of readily slapping a disciple." La Tribune (Paris)

Fooled by Randomness is a standalone book in Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s landmark Incerto series, an investigation of opacity, luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision-making in a world we don’t understand. The other books in the series are The Black Swan, Antifragile, Skin in the Game, and The Bed of Procrustes.
Fooled by Randomness is the word-of-mouth sensation that will change the way you think about business and the world. Nassim Nicholas Taleb–veteran trader, renowned risk expert, polymathic scholar, erudite raconteur, and New York Times bestselling author of The Black Swan–has written a modern classic that turns on its head what we believe about luck and skill.
This book is about luck–or more precisely, about how we perceive and deal with luck in life and business. Set against the backdrop of the most conspicuous forum in which luck is mistaken for skill–the world of trading–Fooled by Randomness provides captivating insight into one of the least understood factors in all our lives. Writing in an entertaining narrative style, the author tackles major intellectual issues related to the underestimation of the influence of happenstance on our lives.
The book is populated with an array of characters, some of whom have grasped, in their own way, the significance of chance: the baseball legend Yogi Berra; the philosopher of knowledge Karl Popper; the ancient world’s wisest man, Solon; the modern financier George Soros; and the Greek voyager Odysseus. We also meet the fictional Nero, who seems to understand the role of randomness in his professional life but falls victim to his own superstitious foolishness.
However, the most recognizable character of all remains unnamed–the lucky fool who happens to be in the right place at the right time–he embodies the “survival of the least fit.” Such individuals attract devoted followers who believe in their guru’s insights and methods. But no one can replicate what is obtained by chance.
Are we capable of distinguishing the fortunate charlatan from the genuine visionary? Must we always try to uncover nonexistent messages in random events? It may be impossible to guard ourselves against the vagaries of the goddess Fortuna, but after reading Fooled by Randomness we can be a little better prepared.

具體描述
讀後感
这本书可以带来清醒。 纵观全书，我觉得主要讲的就是人往往被随机性所愚弄，根据以往或现在发生的事实归纳推断出结论，并以为这是很正确的，其实却忽略了那概率中未发生的事实，而随着时间的推移，那些事实很可能就发生了。对于交易员来说，就是相信自己归纳总结出来的方法已经...
評分 評分我们不能因为眼前的享乐而狂妄自大，或者赞美稍纵即逝的幸福快乐。世事难料，未来变幻莫测。只有承蒙上苍垂帘从此能幸福以终的人，我们才能称之为幸福快乐。 P26 拒斥历史（denigration of history）：因为赌徒、投资人、决策者总是觉得，发生在别人身上的事情，不见得会发生...
評分英国历史学家尼耶尔•弗格森（Niall Ferguson）在《未曾发生的历史》（Visual History）一书中让偶然性在历史进程中翩翩起舞，他设想了一系列人类在某些重大时刻可能进入的历史分叉小径，比如没有克伦威尔的英国，独立战争遭遇失败的美国和爱尔兰，二战中向希特勒投降的英国...
評分呵呵，一年半没买闲书了，印象中上次破例是为了伍迪艾伦《门萨的娼妓》，口袋里只有25块，八折拿下定价25元的书，感觉竟像大大的赚了一笔。 这次在光合作用找教材，寻未果，但又被我不小心瞄到了这一本。这次的经验再次验证了边际效用递减的逆否命题~~~ 书名本是Fooled By Rand...

don't be predictable, sometimes randomness yields a comfort
评分沒看齣和這本書的區彆。汗。http://book.douban.com/subject/1758465/
评分碎片時間讀本，斷斷續續看瞭好久啊，感覺非常小聰明，到處都是小聰明，但到處又教人彆把自己的聰明當迴事。不知道為什麼每次看都覺得作者很矛盾。可能是我太不商科太不律所瞭，又一本朋友的全五星推薦被我糟蹋瞭。
评分Nassim寫這本書的時候太自大瞭 讀著有時候有點煩 後來的Black Swan 好很多
