You've never seen a black swan.
-
So, you end up going through life assuming that
-
there are no black swans.
-
But, in fact, there are

and you might finally see one.
-
You don't want to predicate making complicated gambles
-
under the assumption that they don't exist.

-
and talk about present values,
