He seriously underestimates and undervalues our ability to control situations. Look at air travel and how it gets safer every year, because people don't tolerate danger. Once incident, or even one discovery of an incident that *might* plausibly happen, can trigger preventative changes. And it *works*.
He also recognizes but glosses over the harm that antifragility can do to many. Someone who gains from disorder has little incentive to reduce disorder.
