Interesting and entertaining sociology, philosophy, and politics lecture. He seems to have some good observations (1:40:57 run-time).

A close to 2 hour video isn't going to work fro me, is there a text, a book, something in print?

Quote:
In The Black Swan, Nassim Nicholas Taleb wrote on the highly improbable and unpredictable events that underlie almost everything about our world. In Antifragile, Taleb aims to stand uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, even necessary. Steve Fuller comments on the applicability of Taleb’s work to academia and discusses just how ‘fragile’ the academic way of being has become.
