Not a problem JC. Allow me. Here is the simplest definition for a Black Swan event, plural, Black Swans. https://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary/black-swan
The main originator of this term is Nassim Nicolas Taleb, economist. Here is a 2007 book excerpt from the NYT. https://www.nytimes.com/2007/04/22/books/chapters/0422-1st-tale.html Here is a Youtube video about Comrade Xi, the premier of the Chinese Communist Party, being played with by his rivals in the CCP from the South China, who have seen China experience Black Swan events over the last 2 years, with flooding, aggressor foreign policy backfiring, quakes. His rivals on Tiananmen Square day Sept 7, planted a literal black swan at the site in from of visitors and news people. Mind games and such. In China, the work of Nassim Nicolas Taleb is well known, thus, the public shaming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Xrlx_2NB30 Thus, I am thinking that because Joe and company think ideologically, they will in this fashion induce multiple black swans, aka troubles. -----Original Message----- From: John Clark <johnkcl...@gmail.com> To: 'Brent Meeker' via Everything List <everything-list@googlegroups.com> Sent: Mon, Oct 4, 2021 4:29 am Subject: Re: Unbounded stupidity On Sun, Oct 3, 2021 at 1:52 PM spudboy100 via Everything List <everything-list@googlegroups.com> wrote: > What I am forced to notice is that why we see if Covid does its job, to your > benefit, the current administration seems really good at inducing Black Swans > that cause things to it's detriment via policy driven by ideology. I don't speak the Spudboy100 language and I lost my Spudboy to English dictionary so I am unable to parse that sentence.
