“We have been fragilizing the economy, our health, political life, education, almost everything by suppressing randomness and volatility”

Simplified Meaning:

When we try to make everything predictable and smooth, we actually make things weaker and more fragile. Imagine a child who never experiences any difficulty or challenge growing up. When they finally face a problem, they don't know how to handle it because they've never had to deal with anything tough before. This is similar to our economy, health, politics, and education. For example, in the economy, if banks get used to always getting bailed out when they make mistakes, they won't learn to manage risks better. This makes the whole financial system more vulnerable when a real crisis hits. In terms of health, if we avoid all germs and never exercise our immune system, it might struggle when we do get exposed to something. So, it's important to have some uncertainty and challenges in life. They help us build resilience and strength. We can apply this by not overprotecting ourselves or others from every small trouble. Embracing some unpredictability can make us and the systems around us stronger in the long run.
