More from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Business folk are all scoundrels."
"Intellect without balls is like a racecar without tires."
"The most reliable way to tell if someone is stupid is if they're an academic who's successful in their field."
"The most annoying trait in people is when they mistake their intellectual deficits for moral superiority."
"The greatest lesson of my life is that I never learned from my mistakes. I only learned from my victories."
About Nassim Nicholas Taleb (born 1960)
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.
