Apodictic

Enemies

I’m reading Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s “Antifragile”. I’m intrigued by his apodictic yet ironic tone. From time to time his statements are almost grandiose, but as to now (page 60) his book is an intelligent elaboration on the saying: what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, to paraphrase Nietzsche.
According to Taleb we should thank our enemies for making us stronger.
And indeed I’d like to take this opportunity to thank all my enemies for their hard work.
To my friends: try to weaken other people.
