Your best way of understanding and making sense of the world around you, inductive logic, is how you draw conclusions based on qualitative information. We apply critical thinking to our observations and the data around us to arrive at our best understanding of the situation. The problem with inductive logic is that our conclusions can only be as sound as our ability to mindfully observe the limited information available in our immediate environment, and our capacity to think critically and draw insights from what we see. Machines don’t use inductive logic.

Black Swan Theory refers to “unexpected events of large magnitude and consequence and their dominant role in history.” Our collective field of information is about to grow, exponentially. Right now, humanity is pioneering uncharted technological territory teeming with Black Swans.
