Nassim, first I want to say that I am very grateful for you having written your books. Although the ideas you present are actually quite old they haven't really been expounded so coherently in the mainstream in recent times until you published your books. Thank you for your immensely valuable contributions.

In regards to achieving antifragility at the local level, I was wondering what you think about labor being the noblest pursuit of man. It is by labor that man learns patience, courage, perseverance, openness to what is right, owning up to mistakes, and resolution to improve. The old monks knew about this, which is deep seated in the saying, "laborare est orare", "to work is to pray".
