Dear enemies, detractors, libellers, university rats, genocide propagandists, ethnic cleansing & baby murder promoters, & label conscious Davos midwits, it also happens that #Antifragility is the most influential 21st C. concept.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Dear enemies,The Black Swan is now the most influential (that is, discussed/mentioned) 21st C book.
While almost all books have a half-life between 2 and 6 months, it does not appear to have a half-life. #Lindy

Mistakes are bad; defending them is worse. It's better for you to be the one correcting them than others. Being self-correcting is #antifragile.
A clear conscience is invaluable.

An equivalent action would be to start abusing an effigy of the vile departed. You accomplish nothing & divert your limited energy away from the living threats to mankind. Plus you feel impotent deep inside: it was only an effigy.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

The reason you do not verbally attack a dead person, no matter how vile and morally offensive he was, has to do with you & not with him. He is no threat to mankind any longer; have some skin in the game & go focus on living assholes.

Young Turks

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

I learned today that the four founders of the Young Turk movement (which subsequently led to Turkish nationalism) were not ethnic Turks: two Kurds, one Albanian, & one Circassian.

We have been living, thanks to Zionistan, in the new era of unfettered technoterrorism.

2) Note that overdoing either resistance or endurance may end up causing some mild aortic dilation.
My speculation is that Z1-Z2 does the opposite.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Hearing abt an unexpected death causes anxiety.
Turns out Lindsey Graham died from an aortic dissection, (sudden w/low survival rate).
Easy to check risks & warning signs: aortic dilation or aneurysm, aortic wall abnormalities, hypertension, stiffness (PWV), & valve anatomy.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@viktor_roamin Yes I looked at the data carefully and noticed the *natural evolution* is person dependent; for some it stays at 50 for decades.
Also measurements vary based on volume/hypertension, etc.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@StPeteBrando Aneurysm?

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@viktor_roamin Glad you're OK. How did you treat it? Prosthetic ascending aorta?

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@KenWBriggs3 These infections, particularly infective endocarditis in the aortic valve, come from compromised aorta...

@JamesSurowiecki @MuelMatthew I meant reinforcing

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

I made a huge mistake thinking that manual technical jobs such as electician, appliance technician etc. wd be spared by AI.
Had pbs w/: HVAC, security system, outdoor lighting, pool programming etc. & was forced to solved them w/AI because technicians are slow at showing up.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@JamesSurowiecki @MuelMatthew Yes, I was enforcing your point that search engines are not as synthetic.

Lindsey Graham is gone, he won't bother mankind any longer, no need to kill him twice. Don't be small. Have some dignity and focus on the living ones.

PROBABILISTIC RIGOR DUJOUR

The statistical distance betw a UHNW (ultra high net worth) indiv & a billionaire is equivalent to that betw 1 male 215cm tall & 1 w/208cm.
For centibillionaires, add only a few cm.
We covered it incidentally at #RWRI this week!

@masonictemple4 More like we can tell from that comment that math is not your strong point. Benching 600 is roughly as rare as being a billionaire. If Tate has 50m, that's equivalent to benching 30. Sure, you'd need a light bar, but that only makes the comparison more damning.

EXPLOSIVE! An arrest warrant should be promptly issued against this self-confessed war criminal.

The more Israeli leaders get away with their crimes, the more the system meant to protect us all gets irreparably destroyed.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

@MKM_Abdul Thanks a million!
