Nassim Taleb calls it 'anti-fragility'.<br /><br />So slow it is!<br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-75015390732339432542023-01-25T19:26:02.815-09:002023-01-25T19:26:02.815-09:00Hi Yoda,

"On a long enough timeline, everyone's chance of survival drops...".<br /><br />We were just taking long dog walks over varied and rugged routes. Set me t'thinkin'.<br /><br />Dave ZDave Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241033623115158564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-81107349244615438762023-01-25T19:23:04.048-09:002023-01-25T19:23:04.048-09:00Hi Alan,

Civil liability just doesn't exist here and if you get hurt walking along then cest la vie, melon farmer..... that's on YOU. Rebar can be sticking out of a wall at eye level, a 2' deep hole can appear randomly in your path, a sidewalk can just stop before a 6' drop to another sidewalk, no hand rail next to a 50' drop, cars swerving off the road because of bad brakes on wet pavement, etc.. So you learn to SLOW DOWN or else.Robertohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320063715736110902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3580987459140037495.post-67283715145126225022016-05-25T22:07:01.086-08:002016-05-25T22:07:01.086-08:00"Every step of life shows much caution is req..."<i>Every step of life shows much caution is required.</i>"<br />-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<br /><br />“<i>Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow!

Despite that, someone can rear end you with no fault of your own. You may not have been able to avoid that topple even with eyes to the ground.
