GODDAMNED NORDKEKS ERASING MED HISTORY!

>Zoe Williams (Guardian)
Now, she has a problem. A big problem. A very big problem. Reading comprehension at a high school or perhaps elementary school level. She is the dream revenge reviewer as she pretty much gets everything wrong.

>(…)chief executives and shareholders who want values maximised—people whose skin is very much in the game of driving down wages.

What??? The book explains that skin in the game is not incentives, but disincentives. So I wonder about her own abilities …

>You wouldn’t want homicide law to be written by the mother of a murdered child.

Of course, she doesn’t get the very notion of disincentives.

She also makes many, many such mistakes not worth discussing here: doesn’t get the minority rule, knows nothing about helicopters; she practically knows nothing.

Did he go too far here?

Fragilista status: SHATTERED

fuck, i'm still only on page 100 or so of antifragile, i have to speedrun this book so I can stay up to date.

I wouldn't want to be a fragilista or something

I really love Taleb.
His irascibility is endlessly endearing.
