Hey, John. Been a while...Have you explored Taleb's idea of Antifragility?
Taken from Investipedia:
"A postulated antithesis to fragility where high-impact events or shocks can be beneficial.

John,
First, let me say that this was awesome. The East-West description is by far the best descriptor for the paradoxical Reductionism/Holism relationship. Fun read!
Did you know that when you put holistic methods into a computer they do really strange and interesting things to massive data sets?
(None of the above are technical terms.)
Hope you are well!
Relationships and Dynamics - Seeing Through New Lenses
Do we all look at the world in the same way? Hardly. We can each look at the same scene and focus our attention on something completely different. Individual idiosyncrasies definitely play a role, but broader patterns of perception are at work as well. Are certain patterns of perception more or...
