Quoted By:
Taleb is an arrogant pseudo-intellectual, but he often hits the nail in the head on common sense stuff. The stuff about being fooled by random events into thinking they have logical narrative, acting stupid to avoid uncertainty instead of using itnto your advantage, people that make decisions never feeling the consequences of their actions, etc. are all spot on.
However, you don't need to right a masturbatory cringe book just to get these points across.
