Hey. Why do people upvote a post that says "Taleb is a jerk" and makes a reputation argument in a forceful manner (reminiscent of Taleb's own style) -- and then downvote a post with technical detail?
- tripzilch 9y agoProbably the fact that you flatly ignored the remark about stuffing your post with opaque technical terms--I know a lot of maths, but I can't make heads or tails of what you're saying. Who are you even talking to? I assume it means something to you, but it doesn't even look like you're trying to communicate your point in a clear manner. Just that you enjoy using words. When trying to read around those technical terms, what is left has a rather nasty and arrogant tone. Therefore, doesn't add much to the discussion = downvote.
