as you can imagine, for many reasons, including the fact that I am to my knowledge the only person having been blocked TWICE by Taleb, and also that Taleb's books were probably the most influential on my intellectual and business development.... this is one of my most prized possessions.

Wasn't he opposed to it on Twitter?

he changed his mind quite radically since

I think personally it's because saifedean and me argued with him about climate and covid

Do you Taleb would take interest in nostr?

Not yet, I would imagine it would take a mass movement to #Nostr before he would. Many of the X sub's rely on that following for many reasons.

I remember being amazed that he was against it given his book and stance, I can understand the climate and covid propaganda as even the best environmental scientists are not certain of our current situation.

There is some talks we could be entering a ice age termination event, methane levels has been the major change since 2006 but seen by some as within holocene variability.

Green washing and carbon credits are what we should really be worried about IMHO.

As someone also influenced by Taleb for some time, I'm curious if you were influenced by his stance on Covid ? I have to shamefully admit that I was, until I started waking up to the BS in second half of 2021.
