Examples?

This page needs more examples of things/systems that are antifragile. EmperorFishFinger (talk) 15:02, 29 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree :) . It would for example be nice to see how this could be applied to software or a web site. --JamesPoulson (talk) 04:55, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Bitcoin and other decentralised p2p networks like BitTorrent would be your best bet. - Shiftchange (talk) 13:17, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak criticisms

The criticism listed (you can be benefit from some variability, but not all variability) is actually mentioned in one of the first chapters of the Antifragile book and well addressed. It makes it appear that the criticizers have not read Taleb's work, and it looks very weak on Wikipedia to portray this as true criticism. I think we should remove this. 2620:0:1003:513:5064:BC6B:D0A8:2D73 (talk) 21:23, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that it is weak. Perhaps we leave it and then post the refutation citing the reference from AF? My sense is that this will keep others in the future from posting similarly weak criticisms. VergilDen (talk) 22:14, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
