If I could predict what my day would exactly look like, I would feel a little bit dead. - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

I am still looking for someone to give a rigorous explanation/explanation of difference between populism & democracy. Nothing yet.

A complex system, contrary to what people believe, does not require complicated systems and regulations and intricate policies. The simpler, the better. Complications lead to multiplicative chains of unanticipated effects. Because of opacity, an intervention leads to unforeseen consequences, followed by apologies about the “unforeseen” aspect of the consequences, then to another intervention to correct the secondary effects, leading to an explosive series of branching “unforeseen” responses, each one worse than the preceding one. Yet simplicity has been difficult to implement in modern life because it is against the spirit of a certain brand of people who seek sophistication so they can justify their profession.

I can't talk on behalf of Nassim Taleb, as I am sharing his wisdom on the Twitter account. What I understand from him is that it doesn't matter whether the prediction is right or wrong if one doesn't have skin in the game. - Cetin, curator of @TalebWisdom account.
