- scott_s 18y agoBe proud all you want. Just be able to explain your idea clearly. Taleb intersperses self-promotion in his explanations, which muddies them. His writing style in general is meandering and lacks focus. The book I read had a handful of insights amid pointless narration. I read books like The Black Swan to learn new ideas, not to learn how great the author is.
