Taleb is not a stoic, but his works provide a great framework for dealing with uncertainty: for example, the whole concept of antifragility... benefiting from misfortunes... seems like core stoic concept, isn't it? Regarding his behavi

I think SF is perfect for a techie work-n-travel. Go work at a googloapplebook, live in a trailer, save 90% salary. Move to a cheap place, buy a house with cash (in your twenties), the rest spend on a year-long journey around the world. Se
