I’ve recently started reading “The Black Swan”.

In it, the author describes the life of a turkey on a poultry farm.

Every day, the turkey wakes up, eats, wanders around, gobbles at the other turkeys, (repeat as required) and eventually goes to sleep.

Next day, same thing.

On and on. Sweet life.

Until the day the farmer comes out and, instead of feeding the turkeys, cuts their heads off.

Yep, Nassim Nicolas Taleb is one insightful dude. That book is a must-read.
