The Black Swans carry the literature – those major events
not in our control with enormous consequences for many. But society can and has dealt with the Black
Swans to various degrees of success and the effects are so sublime that I have
come to believe that if the earthquake hits it is beyond my ability to prepare
(we have no earthquakes here).
Black Ice is a better analogy. Events or occurrences that
are possibly avoidable if only we had paid attention. Life’s pitfalls, business
hazards, interpersonal disasters are often composed of these black ice events,
and they often are not for the general public – they are yours alone to deal
with.
