Systems learn by removing

Maybe... Taleb ofc approaching it stochastically, "process of elimination" here... and the "system" eliminates the input that corresponded to the failed outcome...

Deterministic science trained people instead "make adjustments" in response to failure... ancient Greek "katartismon"... based on the original deterministic functional understanding and the initial input

People don’t learn. Skin in the game has the attribute of removing bad drivers from the system.
