"More barbells. Do crazy things (break furniture once in a while), like
the Greeks during the later stages of a drinking symposium, and stay
“rational” in larger decisions. Trashy gossip magazines and classics or
sophisticated works; never middlebrow stuff. Talk to either
undergraduate students, cab drivers, and gardeners or the highest
caliber scholars; never to middling-but-career-conscious academics. If
you dislike someone, leave him alone or eliminate him; don’t attack him
verbally."
"...anything that removes the risk of ruin will get us to such a barbell."
-Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Antifragile, p166
