This is one of the graphs I was particularly interested in.
Now Taleb makes the claim that there is no correlation above 45k income and it's true, he's completely full of shit.
However, even Jonathan Pallesen analysis shows an R squared value of only 0.09 which is a small effect size correlation. This means that, given also the large sample size, this correlation really isn't that impressive at all especially when you consider it's over a 10 year period.

I want to reiterate that most (if not all) of what Taleb says I disagree with because he takes data and goes way over the top with his interpretations. However, this doesn't change what the data shows.
