Taleb is even more overly sensitive than I am. Look, he had a great idea. I can explain why his project failed – so far. But it’s not going to fail in the future when AI’s produce a ‘unit of measure’ that he’s missing.

As for his fat tony character vs the credentialists, he’s only half right, and the part he’s wrong about he can’t face for personal reasons.

Debating him is impossible.
It’s too bad because at least to me, he’s a hero for the same reasons most of us came to the same conclusions at about the same times. “everything interesting, worse, everything MEANINGFUL, happens at the edges (outliers). So anti-fragility is more important than maximizing utility.

What I got right and he didn’t, (because I studied AI and Economics and Law) is that you can only outlaw categories of bad behavior. You can’t calculate it in advance.
