Antifragility in Politics: Why Systems Become Fragile

This article offers a profound analysis of contemporary politics through the lens of Nassim Nicholas Taleb's theory. The author argues that the actions of the political class, based on myopia and bureaucracy, systematically undermine the natural ability of social systems to self-regulate and strengthen themselves under the influence of stressors. The text thoroughly explores key concepts such as political iatrogenesis, the illusion of control, and confirmation bias, which lead to increasing systemic fragility. In opposition to harmful interventionism, the article presents practical solutions based on the via negativa principle and the barbell strategy. The reader will learn how to avoid the "turkey problem" and utilize convexity in risk management to build structures resistant to unpredictable events such as "black swan events." This is essential reading for those seeking to understand the mechanisms of power.
