I've started reading the book, but after about 7 percent, it gets really repetitive, hope it will change soon!

it gets much worse
you could compress the entire book into about 25 pages
10 if you're not historically and statistically illiterate
just read a summary somewhere

He's a midwit who has pushed the boundaries of his potential, but ultimately, still a midwit. Obnoxious personality and obvious insecurity that become apparent after literally reading a couple pages of any of his books.

Just read his twitter feed. I like reading his books because they have funny stories, but they are mostly just a million case studies and examples of his principles.

Everything in that blog has been disputed in tweets and basic math. Nice bait. Got me to reply.

He is a very interesting person to follow because he managed money but he also has a Ph.D. and is currently a university professor so he has both the knowledge of the ivory tower academics and the millionaire psychopaths actually making big bucks by fucking everyone else in the market. In this pretty unique position he has found that:

>Most statistics is useless (probably not that surprising but the difference between him and me is that while I talk about statistics being useless on 4chan, he actually gets invited to both business and academic conferences where he can tell the academics and businessmen directly that they are retarded)
>Most statistics id useless not because statistics is useless but because the people who study statistics have taken the most useless route and pushed in that direction alone for the past 100 years.
>He explains how this happened. Basically the game of academia forces people to cite as many papers. So what happened was that at the beginning it was Gaussian and similar distributions that were researched (for actual uses). Then the next generation came and just kept pushing in the same direction, findind ways to apply this Gaussian mathematics to clearly non-Gaussian situations because that way they could cite a bunch of previous papers. And yes, to this day you still get many papers published that still study the same distributions you learn in stats 101.
>He has published papers on how to properly do statistics, mainly by criticizing how "normal" statistics fail so badly.
>Beyond on his books he presents lower-level principles (i.e. not full-blown mathematical theorems) about the proper way to manage uncertainty. One of these is quite simple, don't make decisions unless you have skin in the game. Or, more accurately, don't let others make decisions for you when they don't stand to suffer the consequences. Beyond that there are the concepts of black swans and antifragility which I won't spoil for you.

This. He truly revolutionised the field of statistics and is the herald of the next Arab golden age.
