Like losing millions on mean-reversion? or goign long Thailand bc the cig butts were long and brothels were clean? That's some brilliant thinking right there, yeah.
maybe women find this kind of whining sexy. if you didn't know it there are female groupies who fawn over taleb.
Did Taleb do that? That's whom I'm talking about. And my statement was more about academia in general, not that everything Taleb says or does is brilliant.
No no. I thought we were talking about Vic's MR paper. I glossed over Brighton's Kahneman/Taleb sentence.
Also male ones.... Generally, people just love to worship others, specially famous individuals and we haven't even mentioned the money aspects of the worship, as Taleb isn't really a Bonvivan....
