ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Fooled by Randomness" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb explores how people misinterpret randomness, attributing events to skill rather than chance. The story highlights the "lucky fool" effect, where individuals credit success to their abilities, creating a distorted view of themselves.

The book contrasts Utopian and Tragic worldviews, emphasizing human fallibility and the need to navigate uncertainty. It explores alternative histories, judging decisions by considering potential outcomes, not just results. The story also delves into survivorship bias, revealing how visibility of winners distorts perceptions of success and failure. Ultimately, it argues that probability is about belief in diverse possibilities rather than mere calculation.
