Judith Curry -
become more resilient and anti-fragile
Fragile is a good word to describe what is going on. It's starting to seem as if people are viewing every negative or unpleasant experience as a traumatic event and rushing to find ways of shielding people from everything. People don't need to be shielded from everything. People need to become better at dealing with adversity, because adversity is an unavoidable part of life.
