It still amazes me that people unironically cite these Taleb quotes without addressing how plainly neurotic these comments are. Does this increase or decrease your prior belief in his actual ability to carefully read, and then entirely dismiss, an economics academic literature that involves nearly ten thousand active young academics with backgrounds from all over the world, an undergraduate education that ranges from mathematics to physics to philosophy, and markedly diverse political beliefs, and who mostly work on topics that have nothing to do with financial math? Or does it perhaps tell you that this top b-school PhD graduate, who 1. works on similar financial-math topics as the people he viciously smear in the media 2. publishes in the same journals that econ/finance academics publish in 3. had key results inspired or derived from previous economists including Daniel Ellsberg (who, by the way, is a national hero) 4, and was repeatedly hired by top econ/finance departments, but was never able to keep the same appointment for more than a few years perhaps has deep-seated personal, psychopathic issues that prevent him from simply getting along with other academics in his own discipline, and that the academic world wasn't stacked against him and his insights? and perhaps his actual academic analysis don't give you the sweeping indictment of his fellow academics that he'd have you believe in his bitter tirades? and maybe you shouldn't take him that seriously when he periodically goes into his online rants and show a vicious tendency to smear and destroy any individual that's responsible for a perceived slight on him?
