the unpredictability [Theme] Page 3
Before the arrival of the era of high-tech theater of war was usually Srednestan. It's hard to kill a lot of people, if you have to destroy them one by one. Today, in the presence of means of mass destruction, enough buttons, a psycho, a small error to the planet depopulated.
How does this compare with the Black Swan? Keyneston able to produce (and raises) Black swans, as only a handful of events had a decisive impact on the story. This is the main idea of the book.
Quote Explanation: Srednestan – the fictional author of a world in which there are no unpredictable events, life goes steadily and quietly. We, according to the author, live in Cranstone filled with "black swans" – events that cannot be foreseen.

Surprising is not the magnitude of our wrong predictions, and that we're not aware of. This is particularly worrisome when we engage in deadly conflicts: wars are unpredictable by their very nature (and we don't know).

- How strange life is - quietly said Thomas, still not looking at me. - Do you realize how vague and unpredictable around? Guess if Walter this morning that he would not live until midnight? No, hardly. He probably built some plans for the future, enjoyed the Breakfast, wondering as to spend the money... And all in an instant turned to ash.

You know, I used to think that the world is a circle: everything always repeats itself and everything is predictable.
- And now?
I don't know what will happen next.
- You know how we mortals call it? Life.

We are not able to accurately measure things... otherwise it would be possible to predict the future based on knowledge about the present. But we only consider possible ways, not hoping to know the results. All as in a fog.

Women are unpredictable. I never knew you can throw out in a minute. And most importantly, no amount of repression does not yield results. In my opinion, in the mind of women never thought about what will happen if she do so-and-so. The woman only thinks about what she should do now. I'm not saying that all women are like that, but... life taught me to think so.
