Thanks for the link. I read the entire piece because I admire Taleb’s thinking so much. And his willingness to lash out at people like T. Friedman. Content-wise, I find the remarks to be an extension of Black Swan. My copy of Swan is full of marginal notes, highlights, and Post-Its.
I tend to read people like Kahneman and Taleb to learn lessons to apply to writing.
I found your intro to be very well written. Coherent and conversational. Wonderful job. I admire that kind of writing. Surprised that you haven’t taken that talent to a commercially viable hobby or pursuit.
Next up is to follow the link to the Taleb-Kahneman discussion.
Thanks again.
Sure thing. And talk about a writer who’s made his mark in the non-fiction trade. Hard to find someone as successful as Taleb.
Not only are his civilization-preserving ideas compelling, he’s got a great sense of humor, and he does the circuit of talk shows and speaking events.
I should look at your work soon. Expect feedback as I get to it. 😊
