I'm interested in reading more about this perspective. Is this in one of his books? Or does he have articles about this somewhere?

He talks about it in Antifragile and has written a few articles on the topic

This one: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/14/business/dealbook/another...

is more of a popular-science take and this one: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8nhAlfIk3QIbGFzOXF5UUN3N2c/... is a more rigorous analysis.

He also talked about his thoughts about GMOs on an econtalk podcast here: http://www.econtalk.org/nassim-nicholas-taleb-on-the-precaut...
