[TGEF] Reduction in true complexity - Black Swan (2007)

Categorizing always produces reduction in true complexity. It is a manifestation of the Black Swan generator, that unshakable Platonicity that I defined in the Prologue. Any reduction of the world around us can have explosive consequences since it rules out some sources of uncertainty; it drives us to a misunderstanding of the fabric of the world.

- <Black Swan>, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, 2007, Random House, p.16
