It's funny; but it's an uncharitable summary if you're going to use that as a basis for evaluating Taleb's ideas.
- niklasd 8y agoTrue. But from the parody you very quickly get the idea what kind of person Taleb is, and the text kind of summarises my feelings towards him, so I find it concise. But you should of course take it with a grain of salt, since I used this word itself to mock Taleb, implying that his work can be summarised in a short Guardian parody piece.
