"Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know."
"I want to write books that only those who read them claim they did."
"Never take investment advice from someone who has to work for a living."
"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
"Modern life is a product of people who don't understand probability."
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.
