No, being a real philosopher necessitates having actually done things in the real world. DOERS not THINKERS. Praise Baal.

He's a charlatan who can't stand being btfo by based Nassim.

>The mark of a charlatan--say the writer and pseudo-rationalist Sam Harris--is to defend his position or attack a critic by focusing on some specific statement ("look at what he said") rather than blasting his exact position ("look at what he means" or more broadly, "look at what he stands for")--for the latter requires an extensive grasp of the proposed idea

I just got to the part of Antifragile where he btfos transsexuals as the sissy fragilistas they are, how is this man allowed to publish books still?

>the part of Antifragile when Taleb recounts the story of a fragilista who blew up so badly in 2008 that his wife had to turn to prostitution in order to pay the rent, and that he had purchased her services at double the going rate on the condition that the trader had to watch while wearing a chastity cage
>then he goes into lurid detail describing how thoroughly he fucked her before leaving her in a sex induced coma, tossing the key to the guy's chastity cage out of a twelfth story window before walking out without paying

Jesus dude, calm the frick down.

>However, the main theme of the works of Rushdie is not theory, as the dialectic paradigm of reality suggests, but pretheory. The premise of the neosemanticist paradigm of discourse implies that sexual identity, ironically, has significance.

>Many narratives concerning the role of writer as observer may be revealed. It could be said that if cultural narrative holds, we have to choose between the dialectic paradigm of narrative and neoconceptual Marxism. Sartre's analysis of cultural narrative holds that society, paradoxically, has objective value.

>Thus, the premise of the neodialectic paradigm of expression implies that consciousness may be used to reinforce hierarchy, but only if reality is distinct from consciousness; if that is not the case, we can assume that language has intrinsic meaning

What did he mean by this?
