What Farid said below. I would assume le sserafim has read Nassim Taleb, because that is where this term originated from.
The concept of antifragility uses examples from science and mathematics to argue that some systems are strengthened by encounters with disorder. It is an interesting concept that basically says you can thrive in a system of disorder, randomness, or stress. Antifragility goes beyond mere resilience (the ability to bounce back from adversity) in that it embraces and gains from uncertainty. Decentralization, diversity, experimentation and innovation are characteristics of antifragile systems as they allow continuous improvement and new learning from disruptions.
Say you got laid off. You could view that as a chance to not only bounce back (find a new job), but also as a chance to expose yourself to better job or career opportunities, as well as anything that could improve your wellbeing. Basically, it's the "improvise, adapt, overcome" meme.
The hacker group Anonymous is also an incredibly good example of antifragility. No matter how hard governments and law enforcers try to destroy the organization, it will never cease to die due to how it's structured.

While most portfolios crumbled during the stock market crash, Dave's grew in value thanks to its antifragility. By diversifying across asset classes instead of focusing on any one sector, his portfolio benefited from the volatility instead of breaking under the pressure.

Get the Antifeminist mug.AntiFreeze|AntiBoil:
A concentrated or pre-diluted solution containing substances/chemicals generally used in car radiators as a heat transfer fluid to prevent freezing in cold conditions and to prevent boiling over as the engine heats up after it's started.
Antifreeze generally contains a substance called "Ethylene Glycol" (also known as Ethane-1,2-Diol), which is a superior antifreeze when mixed with water compared to Glycerine/Glycerol or Methanol.
Ethylene Glycol has a sweet taste, making it attractive to animals; young children; or uneducated people.. but it is toxic if ingested (swallowed) due to the way it's metabolised:
Ethylene Glycol itself is more or less non-toxic, but when ingested it slowly but steadily gets metabolised to toxic organic acids that can cause illness, damage the kidneys leading to renal failure and can be fatal.
Bittering agents are added to antifreeze nowadays, so it no longer tastes sweet, but it tastes bitter instead.. however it is still poisonous if swallowed, so always keep antifreeze out of reach of children and away from pets.
If someone has ingested Antifreeze, take them to the hospital BEFORE symptoms occur as the Glycol itself may cause drunkenness but isn't really toxic at all until it gets metabolised; meaning that if the victim gets immediate treatment, the medications used in the hospital will stop the body from processing the antifreeze to its toxic metabolites, and it will eventually be harmlessly urinated out.
