Nassim Taleb is a professor, mathematician and philosopher, in his last book, he has argued to the effect that the future can not predictions. Essential, he says that the logic is flawed behind the theory of probability, as this on the assumption is based, that is what happened in the past, often repeated, is. By raising are not considered, which is absolutely foolish, since it is these Ausnamen straight, which is important.
summarize: The world is too complex to calculate it, no matter how many factors we include, we can never rule out that they have not missed one yet.

has, unlike many bankers Nassim Taleb not appeared on statistics and risk assessment, but on common sense (he puts it, mutatis mutandis, as follows: "when I see that a pilot has taken no precautions, and flies into a storm cloud, I am assuming that it will crash "). This made him famous during the banking crisis (he has predicted that in 2006, including the failure of Fannie Mae), and his employer, he advised the rich.

In http://www.islam-projekte.com/kalifat/kalifat/webseite/ru_artikel/buecher_deutsch/verstand.pdf there is an interesting pamphlet which argued that Islam is the religion of reason, as If God as the "what" is defined, is a rejection of God would be absurd and against reason.

In this religious context, the discussion of Nassim Taleb, who themselves as religions are opposed to describing (he was so scientists), light as a new formulation of the phrase "Allahu akbar" - "God is greater" to see.

Man will never be able to involve all in one invoice, one unknown is never ruled out - God is greater than the understanding he gave to the people.

This is a starting point for plenty of speculation, an image at the end: If God is the container, then everything is affected in this hold can be smaller.

It seems to go under those who believe in the matter, but those who recognize that the matter is no small triumph, and man be. see

Hotel Greulich

cigars for the last meeting this year we gather on November 26, 2008 at the Helvetia in Zurich. To clock 17.35, the group made their way towards the community center, to be offered out of the refurbished bar a drink offering. In the absence of seats, our train moves at the behest of Sigi towards the rising "sun." In this there are almost no seats, so we stand around at least not alone. It does not appear, but the cold beer flows through our hot throats.


Ristorante Cooperativo

Our second visit to the new Ristorante Cooperativo confirmed the impression from the first time: The service is friendly, the pizzas, mouth, open and Primitivo. In the photo we see Sigi with lusty appetite before a Comensoli image.




Hotel Greulich

was recently held in Zurich, a Dadaist Action: burn money. At this stage we can not bring us. So we burn again instead cigars. The ideal place to: The Cigar Lounge at Hotel Greulich . The walls are covered with cedar wood, the crackling log fire and no music disturbs our cigars meditation. We served by Chef Bartender Anna knowledgeable and friendly. The house provides for the cutting and burning a whole cigar-accessory available. There is the possibility of a small selection of cigars from the humidor Greulich-buy.




fuel for the debate this evening, the future smoking law in the canton of Zurich, which was adopted in September in a referendum. If this template is not yet clear whether any fumoir may be served. The cigar smokers have still so close season. The new law is expected to come in time for hunting season 2009. The Lung Association has until the first Halali So still practice in patience.


We enjoy the cigars and the perfect Mojito, has mixed the chief bartender Anna. It gives us another important information on the way home: The hotel will retain its Greulich cigar lounge in each case in the future, even if only unattended fumoir be allowed! bring
