Surviving Progress Movie - Quick Impressions

First Impressions on Nassim Taleb's Black Swan

I will try to write down my first impressions after finishing part One of Nassim Taleb's "The Black Swan" book. More thoughts will hopefully come after finishing the second and third part as well as the postscript essay. Unexpectedly, I have heard about this book from Tim Ferris while watching his Random Show podcast (co-hosted with Kevin Rose). Many Google queries later, I decided to make the jump and order The Black Swan.
