- Havoc 7y agoDamn that's not even subtle
- carrozo 7y agoI remember sharing this manifesto when it came out years ago. However, I’m glad I came to read this thread now because I had no idea it was so blatantly plagiarised!
- doitLP 7y agoIn the spirit of the article itself, who cares? He said Taleb was a friend, maybe he gave permission to copy? And even if not and he stole it, how is that relevant? It’s a good long form article with a clear message that is all the more beneficial the more widely it is read.
- prepend 7y agoTaleb cares most directly, so that matters. I also think that plagiarism is a detriment for society as it presents knowledge grounded on a lie. So it poisons knowledge’s ability to help, I think.
