What's the opposite of fragile?

Most people would say something robust. But Nassim Nicholas Taleb says that's a mistake. He argues that the opposite is something antifragile.

Something which gains from disorder.

In an increasingly volatile world, he says we shouldn't try to protect the fragile. But instead to be more resilient through anti-fragility. Industries like restaurants become better as the fragile get weeded out.

The system as a whole becomes stronger.

How can we use this principle in our work and life?

In this episode Eduardo Dos Santos Silva, Neil Hamilton and I discussed the implications.
