More from Nassim Nicholas Taleb
"The general public has a hard time distinguishing between the truth and a well-told story."
"The difference between a philosopher and a fool is that the philosopher knows he is a fool."
"The more you know, the more you realize how much you don't know."
"Education makes the wise slightly wiser, but it makes the fool vastly more dangerous."
"The difference between a charlatan and a true philosopher is that the charlatan tries to impress you with his knowledge, while the philosopher tries to make you think."
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.
