More from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"Some people are only funny when they try to be serious."

"The way people reveal unconsciously that an action would be in their best interest is by telling you that it is 'in *your* best interest'."
"The function of the university is to make the student fall in love with the library."
"Charm is the ability to insult people without offending them; nerdiness the reverse."
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.
