He embarrassed himself with Nate Silver, Stephen Pinker, and most other disputes I've ever seem him wage. Not to mention being notoriously moody on twitter, and cozying up to alt-right trolls. If you are just relying on the supposed credibility of Taleb, you are relying on nothing.
- bart_spoon 6y agoHe didn’t really embarrass himself with Nate Silver. I’m not a big fan of Taleb personally, but his criticisms of Silver were sound.
- MrBuddyCasino 6y agoI haven't yet seen any serious attempt to dispel his attacks on Pinker, specifically the lack of statistical evidence concerning the "the world is getting more peaceful" thesis - can you point me towards anything substantive?
