Fri Mar 28 14:41:06 UTC 2014 <bitcoinpete> mircea_popescu i sequenced those poorly, first was a document by taleb & co., second was a random quote
Sun Mar 23 22:11:22 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> so in a sense, it's a quid pro quo, and taleb is captive of his generation.
Sun Mar 23 22:08:56 UTC 2014 <JorgePasada> mircea_popescu: Overall I like Taleb, I just wish he'd present his ideas without so much of his emotional baggage... but I guess that's the struggle of communication in general. He probably wouldn't be nearly the same person without all those experiences, so I guess some of it is bound to seep through
Sun Mar 23 21:54:54 UTC 2014 <JorgePasada> mats_cd03 I think Taleb would have come off better if so much of his contempt for the people who laughed at him for being wrong all though the financial bubbles didn't seep through his writing. Great ideas, great thoughts/concepts, somewhat poorly presented.
Sun Mar 23 21:53:35 UTC 2014 <Mats_cd03> i fancy taleb myself but i find the concept unpalatable
Sat Mar 15 01:49:41 UTC 2014 <bitcoinpete> ;;later tell mircea_popescu: I should check out the film, I've only seen the mainstage production :) I'm not sure how very strange my naiveté is. I'm less naive than I was 2 months ago, prior to the commencement of my IRC yeshiva, but hardly deserving of expectation. Either way, and as always, thx for reading and the feedback.You're like having a younger Taleb as a personal tutor...
Thu Feb 27 20:23:41 UTC 2014 <greenspan_fan> what's interesting (and Taleb hits on this as well) is that people are generally really poor at evaluating power-law types of extremes
Wed Feb 19 09:01:42 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> Vexual taleb ? what of him ?
Wed Feb 19 08:31:48 UTC 2014 <Vexual> mircea_popescu, it stikes me that the collected works of this taleb fellow might cost less to buy than 1bc, have you tried his publisher(s)?
Wed Feb 19 07:57:05 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> davout i wouldn't particularly mind having this to hold over taleb.
Wed Feb 19 07:49:05 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> taleb doesn't want bitcoins too ;/
Tue Feb 18 20:17:44 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> whoa check out mr taleb
Sun Feb 16 01:46:03 UTC 2014 <mircea_popescu> on which topic n taleb's stuff can't be sufficiently recommended i guess.
Fri Nov 29 00:24:00 UTC 2013 <unbalanced> Huh. The MPOE bonds on that spreadsheet have too much of a history of Taleb-flagged "blow ups" for my taste.
Thu May 02 15:15:35 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> gotta love taleb. im keeping this one.
Tue Apr 30 01:44:59 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> dub nassim taleb
Tue Apr 30 01:44:04 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> i am currently pining all hopes of universalist humanity on the taleb fellow
Mon Apr 29 22:32:30 UTC 2013 <mircea_popescu> also i hope nassim taleb reads that and gets all pissed off.
