>Compares Salafi Islam with Puritan New England to make the point that their theologies are the same
This is such a pseud take; superficial resemblance at best. Taleb is forgetting that one book says "make war" and the other book says "make peace." You can complain that peace making involves violence at times, but INTENTIONS MATTER WHICH IS WHY WE SHOULD CARE ABOUT ISLAMIC THEOLOGY.

What philosophers have said:
>The self requires social interactions to give it linguistic definition
What boomers on reddit say:
>There is no such thing as the self

I contend that you're a fucking idiot because you can be tricked by buddhists and queers into believing things that are obviously not the case. Just because my self-definition requires a linguistic system in which to communicate my lived experience, doesn't mean that if I went into the woods, that my consciousness would disappear.
