Tue Jun 23 03:22:02 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> and THAT is where taleb engages traditionalism - where it matters. nobody is still left at the wheel who can talk back, so nobody does, all that's left is a cargo cult of the dead st. thomas, trudging along.
Tue Jun 23 03:10:04 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> have you read nassim taleb ?
Tue Jun 23 03:09:40 UTC 2015 <ag3nt_zer0> mircea_popescu: thanks for the response... I am confused about this: "and the fundamentally flawed proposition that for this reason, it is more important to interpret phenomena through history than through any other lens." -is this how traditionalist discourse treat phenomena? exclusively historically? and also: you say taleb can provide a damaging critique of traditionalism? May I kindly ask, whose? What authors/thinkers
Tue Jun 23 02:52:34 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> stuff like taleb is a much more damaging criticism of traditionalism than structuralism ever was or could aspire to be.
Thu Jun 11 14:36:00 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> i will cloink you all in the head with a taleb hammer
Sat May 09 22:16:04 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> Naphex: thank taleb !
Tue Apr 14 14:54:57 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> in taleb's books, he often refers to his long, slow walks with mandelbrot, and how the old man is the only one who will walk slowly enough to properly meditate with
Tue Apr 14 14:53:57 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> benoit's definitely in the taleb vein, or perhaps vice versa
Fri Mar 27 07:17:52 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> http://log1.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-03-2015#1074080 << taleb has his 'black swan horizons universa etf'
Sat Feb 21 23:09:18 UTC 2015 <decimation> yeah, the next episode he interviews taleb on gmos
Tue Feb 03 22:44:13 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> pt 2 of taleb's note was "in leb/syr"
Fri Jan 30 18:33:12 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> so is taleb. so is everyone that DIDN'T join the system.
Tue Jan 27 05:52:53 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> 'like taleb' ~~= 'sleep ad libitum'
Tue Jan 27 05:52:01 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> if i could live like, e.g., taleb, for 20 years, with the understanding of being impaled after - i would. i don't particularly need being fifty for anything.
Fri Jan 23 23:37:59 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> davout: if it keeps taleb out and lets taaki << doesn't seem to be doing that tho.
Fri Jan 23 21:49:55 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> Nassim Nicholas Taleb: December 29, 2014 at 7:45pm: "With the information age the world looks uglier, dirtier, more corrupt, scheming, mostly because the malicious was hidden from us before."
Fri Jan 23 21:42:50 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> asciilifeform taleb also seems to genuinely enjoy facebook and twitter
Fri Jan 23 21:40:22 UTC 2015 <asciilifeform> TomServo: my working hypothesis is that, for a figure like taleb, the whole net smells a little too much of taaki and sexyginger et al
Fri Jan 23 21:37:13 UTC 2015 <pete_dushenski> maybe the next time taleb and saifedean cross paths ?
Fri Jan 23 21:35:42 UTC 2015 <davout> if it keeps taleb out and lets taaki in it's probably the wrong kind of barrier to entry :D
