"Hard work will get you a professorship or a BMW. You need both work and luck for a Booker, a Nobel or a private jet."
"If you're busy at work odds are you will eventually be replaced by a robot."
"Academia is a graveyard of ideas."
"People are much more willing to take advice from someone who looks like them."
"The good life is simple. Don't f*ck it up by making it complicated."
Lebanese-American probabilist and The Black Swan (2007) author whose work on tail risk and antifragility reshaped finance and policy thinking. Closely associated with Benoit Mandelbrot (fractal mathematician, Taleb's mentor figure). For an intellectual contrast, see Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist and The Better Angels of Our Nature author — Taleb has spent the 2010s publicly attacking Pinker's data-driven 'things are getting better' optimism as naive Gaussian thinking under fat-tailed reality — the loudest public statistics argument of the decade.
