The modern world society is going through a period of demographic, economic, technological, institutional, cultural, and intellectual stagnation. We live in a “zero-risk society”, a culture obsessed with the necessity of controlling and removing any risk. While the tech- nological and sanitary improvements contribute to developing the wellness of our lives, bold risk-taking remains a fundamental constituent of a resilient civilisation. Indeed we are diving into a definitely out of equilibrium system where extreme events referred to as dragon kings with exogenous nature like supervolcano eruptions, earthquakes or pandemics together with endogenous ones like market bubbles or terrorist uprisings constantly threaten the stillness of human existence.
