Why Taleb?

I hate that piece because most of what he's referring to has been dealt with for decades. It's like "narcissist who knows nothing about a field doesn't bother to learn anything about it and as a result takes down a strawman to make himself look good."

Taleb should stay in his lane. He sounds like a "get off my lawn" old douche when he talks about anything other than financial markets. His central tenet in that article is that IQ doesn't correlate with wealth and is therefore useless. How enlightening.
