I haven't heard Taleb's name in so long. I thought he dropped info irrelevancy.

I should reread his books. They will be a better legacy than his views of Bitcoin.

I have to keep reminding myself of a few things from his writings.

The information is antifragile. Not the person. I have gratitude for all of his work.

He said if you see a fraud and don’t call out a fraud you are a bigger fraud.

There is clear evidence of him not admitting to where he was wrong on a multitude of issues including Bitcoin.

So I’m doing my duty out of gratitude for the work. When I read that piece on fraud it changed me for good and for the better. I owe it to him to honor the antifragility of that statement.

If he says he got some stuff wrong then I’m happy to recognize that and commend him publicly.
