Great book but apparently he got a little sloppy with some of his research. Taleb got pissy, cherry picked a page, "fact checked" it (ie, said nuh uh to a bunch of things and didn't cite sources), and now the entire book is a little suspect and probably needs a good in depth review. On the whole I think his thesis is correct and Murray went out of his way to point out good works of science/art from non white-men which is pretty nice, since he actually has standards and now you don't have to search through all the dreck modern culturefags push as good when it's clearly not.
