Hope you take something out of the video! I will post my favourite aphorisms from Nassim Talebs' "The Bed of Procrustes" on Twitter as they work better in short text than in video. If you are interested follow me: twitter.com/bPGTill

I read The Incerto in the nearly 3 years of The Pandemic Lockdown. Australia, the most aggressive response! I started a second reading 6 months ago, in reverse (chronological) order, this time very slowly, pondering Taleb's ideas, discussing them with others, writing my own thoughts down. I've nothing but gratitude for this gentleman, and practitioner who is also a giant in academia, despite his skepticism to institutionalized learning. Taleb is all about the doing... taking risks and small losses by tinkering and playing with the things that really "excite" you. Ultimately, choose your Game, then put in all The Skin you can muster without blowing up. That's how I think one should read The Incerto... take the small losses of time and effort, for huge gains that continue to pay off... asymmetrical, long gamma and a superb barbell. Finally, don't be that turkey! 😁

Thank you this was a perfect review. I buy this book today. Thank you till.

Your bitcoin video will age extremely well. I actually think youll help so many people with it so props to you bro

Awesome video, have heard a lot of people in the Bitcoin community talking about Nassim

Thank you and yes, that's because a lot of what Nassim Taleb says applies to Bitcoin. It's lindy, antifragile, decentral and therefore has less systemic risk, displays how volatility is not the same as risk, there is no principal-agent relationship, ...

just heard him on tim ferris, after this video i purchased the audiobook, thankyou

To some degree it definitely is, to another degree it is not. Poker has artificial rules that make calculating probabilities possible. This does not apply to the real world where people are fooled by randomness most of the time - see the Ludic Fallacy.

The artificial rules apply to the cards but less so to the players and their reactions, tells, propensity to bluff, emotional control etc etc. I'm surprised the author made no reference to poker. Nice video btw! Thank you.

His only good book.

Bro is this book worth reading.??

I'd say all 5 books of the Incerto series are worth reading. I liked Antifragile and Skin in the Game the most, but would suggest to go in order and start with this one.

Most good books are controversial. Nassim Taleb himself is extremely controversial and there are parts of him that I don't like at all and very much disagree with. There is even an excellent article articulating the two versions of Taleb: allenfarrington.medium.com/a-tale-of-two-talebs-1775dff3302b I still think the books are absolutely worth reading, in fact I read all of them twice. Just check them out and if you don't. like them, put them aside. Also challenge his ideas yourself instead of relying on critics :)

Bro is Elon musk talking about the book concept?

The background music is stupid noise and distract from the content. Why do so many people in KZread embed the moronic background noise?

Because most people like it. Not distracting to me for example.
