I wish Taleb would stop making up weird phrases and pushing them in his writing. What does "skin in the game" even mean? I mean linguistically. It's a weird phrase that I still have trouble parsing and have to stop and think every time I see it. Why not "involvement"? Why "game"? Which meaning of "game" is even in this? Does he mean "have a portion of the skin of the game animal that would be killed at the end of the hunt allotted to you"? Or is it "to wager some of one's own skin on the outcome of a game"? But then your skin isn't really in the game per se, is it? As in, it doesn't take active part in the game, right? So how is it "in" the "game"? It just hurts my head :(
