Scott Patterson's Chaos Kings, Part 1

Thanks Nassim, great listen for an off the trail hike.

Doing deadlifts while I watch this :p

Ready for Part 2

Thank you Nassim for tweeting about this and bringing to our attention. I'll take as much of this as I can get. I emailed Ned about statins to forward to you. I am the dog that only thinks about how to get past the fence.

More conversations like these please

Thanks Scott. This is great !

I love it, when i see you in a genuine conversation, i learn a lot from you. شكرا كتير استاذ!

How would Nassim Taleb suggest using the precautionary principle within these fraught political times? How does one situate oneself financially when those who hold the purse strings of the treasury department have no skin in the game themselves? Honest question, Nassim. Thanks for this impressive interview. I love your explanation of risk using human kidney redundancies 😊

Hello professor, wishing you a blessed Sunday

Nassim looking quite content and mellow. Good man.

This book sounds aweso.e! Buying now

thank you for sharing this!

Would like very much to hear from Team Taleb about Generative Emergence!

Such a treat ❤ Did NNT ever post his recommended reading list? Apart from the literature review at the end of each book.

I don't know if this is the right place but I was thinking a lot about NNT's strategies and read all Incerto books (some of them three times). Maybe it is because of my lack of knowledge but options as well as "very safe" bonds always have a counterparty (at least to my understanding). Wouldn't it qualify as a black swan if those counterparties weren't able to fulfill their obligations anymore? If so, this would add another dimension to the barbell strategy because of more implied risk in the 90% which are supposed to be the safe opposites of the 10% high risk trades. What do you guys think and what would be the answer if my assumptions are correct (I know about capital requirements for contracts and so on but again, what if for some black swan reason they don't work out). Thanks for your time

Love to see you as a presidential advisor.

Are we in a market crash?
