Description:
We know more than we think we do, a lot more than we can articulate. Our perceptions and intuitions, as expressed in deeds, can be superior to what we know and tabulate, discuss in words, and learn in a classroom. To see how alien the concept is to our minds, ask around the antonym of fragile. The likely answers being robust, unbreakable, resilient. As the opposite of positive is negative but not nuetral, so as the opposite of fragile is not robust. Something more than that, which would benefit from shocks and an array of trauma, Antifragile. Inspired by the concept of Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, I tried to depict the same. As Taleb says - "Half of life, the interesting half of life-we don't have a name for."
