Is Alizée a Black Swan?
Nassim Taleb has recently released his new book on "The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable". A Black Swan has three characteristics:
1. It is Unpredicted.
2. It Carries a Massive Impact.
3. After the fact, it is made to appear less random.
So, let's analyze this in terms of Alizée.
She was unpredicted.
She has had a massive impact.
Hmmh, not sure about that last one. What do ya'll think?
p.s. If any or our members are looking for a good gift for their engineer or technical significant other (or friend/family member),I would recommend this book. Even a physicist would find it entertaining (hint to Rocket).
