Merci, Professor! May you be around for 100 more years. We look forward to covering Scott's book on our podcast at some point in the future. Blessed weekend

I feel blessed, got to listen to NNT for over an hour. My bucket list, a bike ride, a walk in the woods, meet for coffee with NNT or more of this.

Very enjoyable listen! Thanks. A short recap of Incertoš¤©

Ordering the book, although Iāve already listened to it on Audible, suffice to say that I couldnāt recommend it enough for those interested in highly improbable events.

Good stuff thanks

Mr. Taleb, as next guests I would suggest you invite Robert J. Frey and if possible Ed Thorp (this one would be amazing, however I don't know if he still do interviews) to a 1:1 conversation like this one. We, outsiders of the finance world, we need more talks on youtube with the REAL players, not the tonnes of bullshitters that are abundant in Youtube. Please also bring someone that talks about MLE and if possible Copulas. Btw if possible can you say what's your opinion regarding copulas? Best regards, Daniel.

A few problems. The Jama study was not an RCT and did not test statins. It was an epidemiological study. Accordingly, it was not forward looking. Low cholesterol increasing mortality is often driven by reverse causality. Various diseased states including liver failure and some forms of heart failure decrease cholesterol metabolism and lower serum cholesterol. Almost all your work is quite good but the work on statins needs some work. You must address the items higher on the evidence pyramid. There are certainly people that will not take their statins based on this conversation. There are almost certainly people in J Ali's circle that wonder if your potentially incorrect public communications about this subject may have harmed him.
