A little internet research shows that Julia Ioffe is of Russian Jewish background. She was born in Moscow in 1982. Her family fled the collapsing Soviet Union and she was brought to America as a child.

I'm sure that if Ms. Ioffe disagrees with her family's decision to move to this "bizarre, messy, violent, and uncivilized" country, she can arrange to return to Europe, or even to Russia. Perhaps we would then be graced with reports on the "civilized" anti-Semitism and "refugee" criminals. Please, Ms. Ioffe, if you don't like us, just go.

...Taleb's "Black Swan" theory - systems that break and adjust regularly are actually very robust - in that they survive. He calls it "anti fragility." Complex, centralized systems that attempt to control risk will eventually meet an unpredictable "black swan" event.

Excellent summery.
