Brian Klass
The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Brian Klass reads as The Navigator because he steers through irreducible complexity rather than pretending to master it. The University College London professor and author of 'Fluke' explicitly rejects what he calls straight-jacket models, preferring resilience over optimization.
“We control nothing, but we influence everything. There are these diversions happening constantly... we are completely oblivious to the diversions in our lives and our societies, the alternative possible history.”
“When you accept that you live in a world where you are more likely to focus on resilience and less likely to focus on optimization to the absolute, that's the important lesson.”
“I became a bit of a disillusioned social scientist... we're trying to cram complexity into these neat and tidy, straight-jacket models... I don't think we're capturing reality accurately.”
