    No name calling, he's just describing the "sound" he's hearing. It's the Era of the bullies again. Of course politicians should be shamed, not supported, for our own "good" :strong::fistbump::confused::mad:

    I am not defending the politicians! I am exposing Nassim Taleb for being the pseduo intellectual (IYI) he writes about...

    Because those others are already generally known...IYI is a term coined by Taleb meaning Intellectual Yet Idiot...I have already laid out why but I'll reiterate, he acknowledged on the interview that he was an advisor to Universa IE he was privy to their AUM and yet either willfully OMITTED that the bet was a hoax, not possible with the AUM and OPEN INTEREST available or he is book smart not functionally smart that he could not figure this out for himself IE IYI...He needs to be exposed to protect new and unsuspecting traders....

    You can learn from anyone including failed traders, they don't have to have PhD. at the end of their names....Best of luck to you, you sound enamored with him.
