Quote of the Day: Marginal Utility: The Essence of Life is Some Volatility

Consider that all the wealth of the world can't buy a liquid more pleasurable than water after intense thirst. Few objects bring more thrill than a recovered wallet (or laptop) lost on a train.

The essence of life is some volatility.

This is from Black Swan author Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Facebook page link)
