"Never trust a man who uses the word 'paradigm'."
"Beware of economists. They are like doctors who treat the symptoms, not the disease."
"The good life is simple. Don't f*ck it up by making it complicated."
"If you lie to me, keep lying; don't hurt me by suddenly telling the truth."
"The average person is not interested in truth, but in comfort."
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.
