I am going to enjoy increasing the scope of my reputation by gutting Taleb’s pseudoscience, and in doing so explain why a certain tribe commits so much evil.

I’m starting a private group to discuss adapting Agile Software Development (https://t.co/CJiGMH1XOC) into Agile Personal Development (https://t.co/mksyOyqlAE) in an attempt to inject #antifragility into lives, and thus the world, decreasing overall systemic risk of black swans.

That isn’t a criticism. He may not be a very good philosopher (he isn’t) but as an educator – providing full background on his subjects – he’s wonderful.

You know, I’m going to do a nice video with a few whiteboard graphs explaining Nassim’s original insight and how he is applying it beyond its limits. Nassim is just apologizing for his tribe. He has a chip on his shoulder about it that’s coming across and hurting his rep.

I find these comparisons by @StefanMolyneux insensitive, silly, and failing basic introspective recursion. Someone from Babylon/Ancient Egypt/The Med/China could have, at some point, made similar comparisons entailing Northern Europeans.
Then look what happened after 1600. https://t.co/LJbUCqNwo2Original post: https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1079537894086361088

They use the IQ game to their advantage well, and also gaslight against it using masscomms.
Why?
And why would we join them?

Still like most of what Nassim has to say, even though I still lack the knowledge to properly evaluate what he has to say in this case.Jan 1, 2019, 7:36 PMSingular SpeechNassim does that and his cult follows, and the same goes for Molyneux.
Doesn’t matter as far as the content goes, but, he lets it very clear that he is an asshole (online at least).Jan 1, 2019, 7:38 PMJim GingerichJust call Taleb an Arab and tell him butter is superior to olive oil.

I wanna talk to Molly about doing a smack down on Taleb. The community would benefit from this discussion. I would like to cover taleb’s original insight, and how he is applying it outside it’s limits, and in doing so largely deflate his IQ position, illustrate why he’s just talking pseudoscience to justify his racial biases, while reinforcing his via-negativa argument as a general rule. It’s not that difficult but it will be better to have molly’s popularity and my arguments together because they will flatten Taleb on this issue.
Can anyone contact someone who can try to arrange this?

Nassim: So I just unfortunately realized that your FatTony et all, sensibilities
Nassim: So I just unfortunately realized that your FatTony et all, sensibilities is just Semitic hatred of high trust peoples who produce their extraordinary wealth by the production of COMMONS. And this insight, if widely understood will destroy your reputation even further.

I can understand someone saying “listen, I love strangers but I am more comfortable w/my nationality, shared values” (homophily) or “neighbors get along better than rommates” (fractal localism). But making “others” genetically “inferior” using IQ “science” is quite sinister.

Nassim, so if you hadn’t taken up this particular issue it wouldn’t have made me pay attention to, and understood, the catastrophic error in your conflation of individual speculators and the political orders in which wealth potential of such people is possible. YOU ARE WRONG.

Nassim: Your ‘admiration’ for a certain class of individuals is unscientific as well: they and their behavior are why no large corporations. Our ‘clerical’ why we HAVE large (efficient) corporations. In other words YOU ARE DESPERATELY WRONG. Relative wealth = demographics.

Nassim (all), IQ describes a curve. East and west are superior for having culled underclass reproduction, while center have failed to cull underclasses. So: “I can understand loving one’s people, and apologizing for one’s people, but denying the science is quite sinister.”
