    —“Talking of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, which book in your opinion defines him as a thinker?”–Marsden Katana

    I think everything you need to know is in Black Swan and he’s slowly moving my direction (involuntary warranty) versus voluntary “skin in the game”, through each of his books. I think he finally figured out that the data necessary to produce outliers is more expensive to obtain than the returns, and so he’s started to come around to legal restraint rather than solving the quantitative problem. In other words, he’s moved to falsification rather than justification.

    POSTMODERNISM: NARCISSISM OF SMALL DIFFERENCES ALL IN LOVE WITH TOTALITARIANISM.

    (humor)(Sorry, but gotta repeat this)

    Q: What’s the difference between Heidegger, Sartre and Foucault?

    A: It’s just narcissism of small differences. All of them extolled the value of freedom (in theory), but in practice they all fell in love with various forms of totalitarianism. Heidegger supported Hitler, Sartre supported Stalin, and Foucault supported Khomeini.

    TALEB AND DOOLITTLE

    (worth repeating)

    And Taleb is the counter to Keynesian Probabilism, the same way I am counter to Marxist, Boasian, Freudian, Frankfurt School, Postmodern pseudoscience and pseudo-rationalism. And there are very few of us working on ending the 19th-20th century’s experiment with ‘new mysticism’.

    Taleb = truth in probability. (anti-innumeracy – numbers )

    Doolittle = Truth is testimony. (anti-fictionalism – words )

    A: Derrida says there is nothing outside the text. His critics say there is nothing inside his texts either.

    THE SUCCESS OF THE DISRUPTER IN CHIEF

    —“Presidencies have a rhythm to them, particularly more transformational presidencies,” he said. “Trump supporters wanted a ‘disrupter in chief’ who would challenge or even overturn the system. Because of that – and who he is – you are going to see a lot of disruption for the first couple of years of this presidency, as President Trump tries to reset the table on a range of issues.”– Stephen Hadley, Former National Security Adivisor.

    GOD EMPEROR TRUMP QUOTES OF THE DAY

    “We’re like the piggy bank that everybody is robbing,” Trump said. “And that ends.”

    “The European Union is brutal to the United States and they know it,” Trump said, adding that other leaders acknowledge as much in private.

    “It’s like the gig is up,” he said. “They can’t believe they got away with it.”

    He said the size of the U.S. economy means other nations can’t win a trade war. “We win that war a thousand times out of a thousand.”
