This is THE best interview of Nassim Taleb by far, she asked questions from all over his works, not from some quotes or references from the internet, and I think she has actually read his books which itself is skin in the game for conducting the interview.

What a lovely interview! All you need is a great thinker and great human being, asked questions by a host who really wants to understand what he has to say. Why are both so rare?

Gods do not like cheap signals! What a thinker! Nassim Taleb is a courageous person who understands the complexities of the world and simply would not bullshit you! Thanks for that talk!!

@@micw8443 The big picture is that due to Taleb's arrogance and sensationalism, he has found it useful for his personal fame to continuously engage in disparaging broad-brush dismissal of whole branches of science. Coupled with his extreme ego claims that allegedly he has found a way to revolutionalize our societies, make him simply unbearable to me. I say this as someone who has met him, attended his lectures and dare say possesses the math skills needed to understand his math. Not that a lot of math skills are required for that, but it helps. His exposé is always the same. Start from a very narrow domain (financial trading), tell a few stories of clever trading strategies that basically constitute risk hedging, draw a few sloppy curves with unreadably small annotations, and .... and that's it actually. What follows is a broad over-generalization and speculation about all aspects of life sprinkled with academia bashing. Anyone heard of any practical examples for how to build/design/improve our current political, economic and social systems so that they are 'anti-fragile' ? Is that even possible or desirable at the most fundamental levels of existence ? Is life anti-fragile in its nature ? But Nassim is above pondering on useless philosophical questions. So we then get the S-shaped curves and the ceramic cup that doesn't like earthquakes, but how can we use this in 'real' life, except in the domain of financial trading ? Can we at all ? These are questions that a real thinker of our time would strive to answer.

Pavlin Mavrodiev Just because he doesn’t give a step-by-step guide on how to create more anti-fragile systems in our lives, doesn’t mean he can’t. That’s just WYSIWYG. The What You See Is What You Get fallacy. If anything, I feel that he already gave the big picture for how to create more anti-fragile systems; all it takes is some extrapolating to your own life. I’ve got skin in the game towards facilitating more anti-fragility in my life, so all I can say is, “all the information you need to take action is already there”.

ALL of our top engineers in one of my former employers were like that. Didn't care about any dress code. Just delivered outstanding results. I believe their thinking was exactly as Taleb described. These guys were essentially irreplacable.

I'd really love to see more of her skin in the game.

Time spent on revenge is never vasted.

Basically, judge by what people do, not what people say. In Taleb's definition of a "bullshit vendor", then in my eyes as a first gen immigrant in the US, a lot people in the US are exactly that, bullshit vendors, their actions rarely follow their mouths.

Did taleb struggle with 1% of 30 trillion ?
