Kitap kulübümüzün 59'uncu buluşmasında Nassim Nicholas Taleb'in "Antikırılgan" adlı kitabını konuştuk. Taleb, Wall Street'te risk uzmanı olarak çalışmış bir akademisyen ve yazar. Antikırılgan, belirsizlik ve kaos karşısında sadece ayakta kalmakla yetinmeyen, bu şoklardan güçlenerek çıkan sistemleri anlatıyor.Kitap, dayanıklılık ve dirençlilikten öte bir kavram sunuyor: Belirsizlikten ve değişkenlikten beslenen, rastlantılardan faydalanan yapılar. Grubumuz kitabın özgün fikrini çarpıcı buldu. Özellikle küçük dozlarda stres ve belirsizliğin sistemleri güçlendirdiği fikri hepimize farklı alanlarda yansıdı. Aşırı korumacılığın çocukları kırılganlaştırdığı gibi, yapılandırılmış sistemlerin de en küçük hatada çökebileceği görüşünde buluştuk. Lindy Etkisi, opsiyonellik, negatif via gibi kavramların hayatımıza somut örneklerle yansıdığını konuştuk.Hemfikir olduğumuz diğer bir konu, Taleb'in anlatım tarzıydı. Dağınık, savurgan yapısı çoğumuzu zorladı, bazılarımız ise tam da bu özgür anlatımı sevdi. Okuma zorluğu nedeniyle kitabın geniş kitlelere ulaşmamasının belki de bilinçli yapıldığı, doğal seçilime inanan yazarın felsefesine uygun olduğu fikri de ortaya atıldı.Ben de kendim için şunu not ettim: Antikırılganlık sadece bireysel bir süper güç değil, bağlı olduğumuz ekosistemin, ağların ve kurumların özelliği. Doğru altyapı ve bilgi ağına bağlı olmak, belirsizlikten avantaj çıkarmanın anahtarı. Son zamanlarda çokça dile getirilen az çoktur, yalınlık, sadelik gibi kavramların da daha derin düşünsel bir çerçevesini çizdi kitap.Bu bölümde şöyle de bir ilk yaşadık; kulübümüzün müdavimlerinden ve Taleb'in sıkı takipçilerinden olan Yavuz Hocam toplantı saatinde müsait olamayacağını söyleyince, kitabın seçiminde oynadığı rol nedeniyle kendisinden bir video rica ettim. Kendisi de, der ya'nın Pusula Takımı'nın whatsapp grubunda kitap hakkındaki serzenişlerimize cevaben 17 dakikalık bir savunma pardon görüşlerini gönderdi sağolsun, buraya bir kısmını alıyorum.Bu bölümde görüşlerine yer verebildiğim arkadaşlarım sırasıyla (02:29) Yavuz Abut, (12:20) Alim Küçükpehlivan, (14:45) Bekircan Kalkan, (16:47) Ebru Başaran, (19:23) Yasemin Karakaya Arslan, (25:38) Didem Güçlü İlgün, (29:04) Belgin Elmas, (30:30) Alim KüçükpehlivanSupport the show

Political analyst Tobias Harris (Founder & Principal of Japan Foresight) joins the pod to break down the foundations of Japan's government system, how it compares to the U.S., and why voters view politics the way they do.
