- justnotworthit 6y agoI liked his point that if you believe in "cause no harm" (non-agression), you should wear the mask. It raises issues in what counts as real harm/aggression (wearing clothes someone in society dislikes is technically "harm", but not a harm considered real or aggressive or... I forget the terms). Then he insults everyone who disagrees with him multiple names and accusations of bad faith (which makes serious discussion undesirable and difficult). I think that's a thing Taleb does (online).
