It’s funny. Black Swan is a term that started in the financial markets. Talib wrote a book about it years ago—he defined what it is and how it impacts the world markets.
I see people using that term in their blogs (mostly because a reporter used it in an interview last month) and they are not using it in the proper context.
I used to see this with consultants. They would come in with their new, and fancy methods and as you talked to them you realized they read the first couple chapters of the book…but never finished it.
The devil is in the details.
