so this whole thing is based on a Nassim Taleb quote.

I read his books and thought they were kind of interesting, but it always felt like he was just saying random absurd things that he didn't have to defend because it was his book.

When I started reading his twitter account I realized this is true. He makes ridiculous statements like he is an authority on all possible things, and blocks and berates anyone who dares to disagree with him in even the slightest way. He is basically a troll.

He basically made one lucky bet in his trading career and then pivoted to making money by telling everyone how smart he is.
