夜航船

黎巴嫩的和平没有预警就消失了

塔勒布记忆里的黎巴嫩长期容纳多种宗教与文化,一场内战却在几个月内把它从“天堂”变成地狱。

黎巴嫩原本是东西方文化交融之所,汇集各类宗教,大家和平共处互相包容,持续千年。一场毫无征兆的战争毁掉了一切,城市荒废,大量移民。

The Lebanese “paradise” suddenly evaporated, after a few bullets and mortar shells. A few months after my jail episode, after close to thirteen centuries of remarkable ethnic coexistence, a Black Swan, coming out of nowhere, transformed the place from heaven to hell.
