Taleb Aphorisms

Lots thoughts of interest to hackers. For example:

"Work destroys your soul by stealthily invading your brain during the hours not officially spent working; be selective about professions."

"Most Info-Media-Web-Newspaper types have a hard time swallowing the idea that knowledge is mostly reached by removing junk from peoples' heads."

This book seems to prove yet again that arrogance packaged nicely can appear to be the fruit of intellect. It is like a pale shadow of a modern Poor Richard's Almanac.
