Prof. Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s (@nntaleb) recent comments on the Young Turks have gone particularly viral in Turkey.

I compiled this reading list to offer some historical context and a better understanding of the Young Turks beyond the conventional narrative. I hope you find it useful.

Just returned from Istanbul and bought this to read on the plane. Fascinating text for a window into the Muʿtazilī reception of ḥadīth (less critical than I expected tbh). It reminded me a lot of al-Ṭabarī’s Tahḏīb al-āṯār, though I’d consider his work to be far superior.

لا توجد منظومة قضائية معصومة من الخطأ، لكن يمكن دائمًا تقليل احتمالاته.
هذه بعض الأفكار التي يناقشها كتاب «السر في خطأ القضاء» حول سُبل الوصول إلى عدالة أكثر دقَّة، من خلال تطوير أدوات القاضي وتحسين آليات تقييم الأدلة.

In a column I wrote at that time for Hindustan Times at that time, I described Guru’s hanging to be a “scar on democracy.”…I still ask: what is the quality of true justice? Is it enough for it to be lawful, fair and dispassionate, or must it also be tempered with mercy?

ISIS terrorists were too illiterate to understand the value of those artifacts. They were doing the bidding of their zionist and CIA overlords who wanted Syria's antiquities.

The censorship of books, films is rampant.
