Is Alizée a Black Swan?

[Deepwaters]

A reference to her general coloration, but "lightly tanned swan" might actually be closer. Except no feathers. Well, maybe with the right hair style . . .

Sigh.....I guess when it comes to beautiful Alizée, a serious concept founded on an analogy often associated with beauty will inevitably result in the participants steering toward the beauty held by the analogy rather than the concept the analogy is intended to describe.

Press on.

LOL Ogre, you have to remember how young most of these people are. This may be the wrong place for deep philosophical discussions.

I answered you, though. I don't think she's a "black swan" phenomenon. I think she's genuinely extraordinary, and not merely a statistical aberration misunderstood as extraordinary by the limitations of the human brain.

In short: a genuine white swan which is extraordinary beautiful.

I guess you are correct, but it was fun while it lasted. Taleb would be proud of your analysis, as it reflects an understanding of the impact of epistemic opacity on determining if an event meets the criteria for a Black Swan.

Thank you.

You have a pretty good grasp of epistemology, especially for an ogre.
