Snowden criticizes Taleb for his abrasive Twitter behaviour and then suddenly this article. Petty reaction https://mobile.twitter.com/Snowden/status/1423037887

  It’s almost comical. After the incident, Snowden seemed to have moved on, taking about other things such as the CSAM controversy. Meanwhile Taleb seems to be really hurt, to the point where he attempts to continue the spat, posting boring “debate me” cries[0] and other things I can’t even begin to describe[1]. I know he’s a very intelligent person, but he’s acting like a caricature of a scorned pseudo-intellectual internet personality at the moment.

    I had a very similar impression. He has no ability to admit when he doesn't know something or is wrong. His understand of bitcoin was very limited in his earlier tweets yet got reactive and defensive and dug himself into a hole like I've never seen before And his bullying of critics is a little uncomfortable to watch as this point. The reaction to Snowden is too much
