{{g}}A coinage of fabulously argumentative writer {{author|Nassim Nicholas Taleb}} in {{br|Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder}}, to be antifragile is to be neither fragile — breakable, delicate, post-millennial, [[snowflake]]y and susceptible to damage by agitation, nor [[robust]] (stout, sturdy and impervious to agitation) but ''strengthened'' by agitation. Immune systems, callouses, Nietzscheans — these are [[antifragile]]. We wonder whether the word Taleb claims not to exist is “resilience” — perhaps that just means “ability to recover from shocks” rather than “ability to benefit from them”, but it is close. | {{g}}A coinage of fabulously argumentative writer {{author|Nassim Nicholas Taleb}} in {{br|Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder}}, to be antifragile is to be neither fragile — breakable, delicate, post-millennial, [[snowflake]]y and susceptible to damage by agitation, nor [[robust]] (stout, sturdy and impervious to agitation) but ''strengthened'' by agitation.
