FOREVER - wavy black like a raven
“We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is entering your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel!
...May you prosper in Ephrathah Ruth 4:11

And he sent forth a raven, and it continuously (unceasingly) went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. Genesis 8:7

Black Swan or Black Raven?
In the author's point of view, a black swan is an improbable event with three principal characteristics - It is unpredictable; it carries a massive impact; and, after the fact, we concoct an explanation that makes it appear less random, and more predictable, than it was. Why do we not acknowledge the phenomenon of black swans until after they occur? Part of the answer, according to Taleb, is that humans are hardwired to learn specifics when they should be focused on generalities. We concentrate on things we already know and time and time again fail to take into consideration what we don't know. We are, therefore, unable to truly estimate opportunities, too vulnerable to the impulse to simplify, narrate, and categorize, and not open enough to rewarding those who can imagine the 'impossible'.
