Taleb will block you for likeing a post that speaks against him. He and his loudmouthed behavior on Twatter is part of the reason my opinion of book authors have taken a nosedive in recent years.

I used to live in bliss ignorance and just liked the books that a number of people had written, then I got on Twitter and saw what utter foul-mouthed gutter trash many of these people behave like regularly. Urgh.

Saif is the same way.

Wow never knew about that, probably cuz I don't use Twitter🤣😂, does that change your perception of the works itself?

Not much, but it reduces my interest in reading more from him in the future.

Taleb's an asshole, and his politics are toxic, but his insights are top-notch

Thanks a lot, I haven't read any of his books yet 🤣😂
