When Dr. Nassim Nicholas Taleb looks to the future, he doesn’t see the randomness of a roll of the dice, but a hidden order shaped by probability distributions and rooted in history. For him, randomness itself is epistemic—grounded in knowledge and the deep, unbroken threads that connect us to our past.
The Merge is a production of the Maroun Semaan Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at AUB.
