How to Leverage the Element of Surprise

George Gilder

As I mentioned in yesterday’s issue of Daily Prophecy, the desire to make a million dollars is a commendable goal.

Why?

Because doing so will require you to provide new things to the economy.

Or, as an investor, you will need to invest in companies that generate new knowledge: an innovation.

And as I also mentioned yesterday, the signal of innovation is surprise.

Surprise, however, is not always welcome. It violates cherished assumptions. It does not fit into the familiar rearview mirrors of financial projections.

It is unexpected.

In the Information Theory behind computers and networks, surprise signifies high entropy outcomes, which tend to be rejected as mistakes or anomalies.

Here’s an example of how the unexpected can quickly turn into a missed opportunity…

Last time I post anything from Gilder who really has become just a huckster.

May I suggest a slightly different way to leverage the element of surprise?

Heh, the very next article posted on FR was:

Nothing Boring About Boron

from PubMed, all about good health and healing.

So there you have it.

"Never Boring. Always Surprising."

When I attempted to get a direct URL I got referred to a string of Gilder get rich schemes. That was the real tipoff that Gilder is in the same category as the people who run weekend 'seminars’ on becoming a real estate millionaire.
