What's our final verdict on Taleb? Is he based?
What's our final verdict on Taleb? Is he based?
Noah Phillips
Gavin Ross
He's kind of like Nietzsche for me. I love him and I hate him. So, yes, he's based.
Camden Morris
Most of the time yes although personally I can't get behind his apology of religion. Might be a pro for you though.
Jaxson Sanchez
All I know about him is he like to larp as a Phoenician and hates being an Arab.
Elijah Morgan
Agree with many things he says, you can still recognize how he is a shitskin and fatfuck boomer who copes about reality too much (iq is racist! If you have visible abs you are cringe!)
Religion are heuristical safelines which worked for thousands of years.
Barely 50 years without religion and the west is collapsing.
Religions have useful advices for example stoning gays and adulterers, mandatory charity, fasting etc which are phisiologically healthy
Andrew Ortiz
Nice try, but you are not deceiving me today Satan!
Adam Nguyen
Taleb is cool but his med supremacy and utter larping is big cringe. I like his black swan / barbell investment strategy, his theory of knowledge and probability, his railing against pedophrasty and his political localism (republicanism for the nation, autocracy locally etc...). Like any author he’s stupid in some ways and smart in others.
Chase Sanders
>iq is racist! If you have visible abs you are cringe!
Both true tbqhwy
Adrian Wilson
One of the better Arab thinkers of the current year
Dylan Allen
He's very knowledgeable in his field and somewhat in history but beyond that he overestimates himself and comes off as condescending. His aphorisms are cringy.
Chase Moore
He's double based.
Dominic Rodriguez
>shitskin
Lebanese don't even cluster with Semites on PCA autosomal DNA plots.
Jason Reyes
generic motivational speaker but boomerfied. nothing special or worth noting about him
Owen Reyes
t. Taleb
Josiah Morris
And, dare I say it? Yes I shall dare, Red Pilled
Dylan Nguyen
No, it's basic understanding of population genetics.
Daniel Bennett
extremely based and actually redpilled
100% confident that the people bashing him don't actually read his books and just go off his europhile, snobby persona.
Nicholas Williams
Taleb is the kooky uncle you've never had. His finance talk may have gone over my head, but his books taught me some valuable stuff about life in general. Him and Thomas Sowell made me consider suicide for getting a degree in public administration, so you know that's good stuff
Shame that he barely sources his claims in Black Swan and Antifragile, but you take what you can get
Tyler Kelly
Black Swan is shit, don't waste your time.
Antifragile is okay. But don't expect much intellectual rigor, it's mostly midwit pop philosophy based on intuition and anecdotes.
Logan Roberts
Based, but Midwitcore
Daniel Brooks
Mandatory charity is a recipe for dysgenics. Fasting is of not much use when done sparsely. Stoning gays is pointless. Next.
Mason Lee
Phoenican. Please.
Parker Jenkins
Based Satan, I agree 100% with the religion part, religion gave people set of values in the west.
Jace Bailey
look at this fat swan wtf
Brandon Rivera
Do you even deadlift IYI imbecile?
Samuel Green
>superchad.bmp
>why yes, i train only with machines to minimize all risk and uncertainty, how could you tell?
Nathan Evans
I like him because he BTFO'd J Peterson the dumbass.
Brandon Gonzalez
He is at the center of the cringe-based redpilled-bluepilled axis.
Sometimes very cringe
Sometimes based.
Sometimes smart.
Sometimes retarded.
Sometimes clear.
Sometimes confusing
Sometimes redpilled.
Sometimes bluepilled.
He is essentially a low IQ person who comes up with some unheard of insights, or at least simplified that provoke a huh from most. Overall, better than a midwest but undebiable inferior to the big brains of the past discussed here.
Jose Long
He's alright for an Arab
Easton Ward
Phoenican, gabish?
Brandon Long
lol ur gay
Brandon Thomas
>pedophrasty
such a good word/term.
I just learned it thru his twitter.
Ian Collins
Self hater bigot
Josiah Powell
Do I need to read all his books or can I just start with Antifragile?
Juan Gray
He’s okay but he’s no Steinar Johannesen.
Wyatt Green
no just read his twitter
Elijah Garcia
>taleb is low IQ despite speaking more languages than me, making more money than me, being more well received and respected than me, and so on
ok cumbrain
Wyatt Howard
>There are three types of large corporations: those about to go bankrupt, those that are bankrupt and hide it, those that are bankrupt and don’t know it.
Well that's a hot take.
