I think more posters on this board need to have some skin in the game!

did someone call him an arab on twitter

taleb is the perfect hack for people who read a lot of non-fiction but haven't read an actual study in their whole life

>>11714383
Taleb is fake expert" he's the ultimate pseud

>>11714810
He's a self hating arab so its fun to call him that

>>11714810
>Nassim Nicholas Taleb
>Nassim
>Taleb
>implying he’s not a full blown Arab

>>11715043
of course he's an arab, i asked if he got so butthurt he wrote a book called "skin in the game" about it

>>11715043
Arabic borrowed from the Phoenician, not the other way around. The native Arab speech, used before they entered Syria, was largely a system of grunts and barks.

>>11715062
This. NNT is pure Phoenician. Not some lost soul non-Arabian Arab.

>>11715062
>>11715081
>Phoenician
No ones that anymore Nassim is a self hating arab cause its not cool to be an arab. It makes him more pathetic than he already is. If you're from lebanon you're an arab anyone claiming otherwise is insane

>>11715096
Why? Arab is a meme ethnicity outside of Arabia.

>>11715112
Nassim is obsessed with genetics he's in the J haplogroup which is literally the arab hapologrop that originated from that tribe before even arabic was a language. The tribe orginiated in modern day saudi arabia. Hell in my opinon there only 7 races in the world. African, european, Middle eastern, African, abo, indian, native american and asian. Frankly if you're J1 or J2 you're an arab really

>>11715151
Quite funny since I am J2 and my ancestry is primarily Baltic on my father's side.

>>11715161
You got ancient arab in you then. Blame the caliphates or embrace it.

>>11715151
>your great-...-great-grandfather determines your race

>>11715178
Your haplogroup mixture determines your race. A blonde hair blue eyed arab is still an arab skin color is BS. Theres the european race and then there's the lower races.

>>11714383
The speed at which this thread was derailed by /pol/fags indicates how accurate and on point Talebs book is. They wouldn't do this if they wern't afraid of it.

>>11714383
> NYT Bestselling
Yeah, no, thank you.

>>11715171
More like Scythian.

>>11715727
more like (((NYT Bestselling)))

>>11714383
All memes aside, is he worth reading? I hear his insight is pretty valuable, but it's mostly from normies

>>11715971
he's midwit core, but he's not THAT bad as far as midwit core authors go

>>11715151

Imagine that. Imagine being a super human Indo-European during the expansion. Thousands upon thousands of fit, tall R haplogroup males swarming through the European plane in an orgiastic frenzy of rape, murder and pillaging. A Hundred Thousand Girthy Members Ejaculating In Synchronicity. Coming upon the native neolithic inhabitants with an unimaginable fury. Imagine sweeping through Western Europe on horseback with your brothers and cousins, all fine Yamnaya specimens, their scrotums full to the brim, at bursting point, with superior R1b seed. You come across a primitive farming village and brutally slay all of the males, elderly and children in the settlement. While your brothers are busy taking their share of the loot and having their way with the remaining women, you spot a particularly lithe young woman in a field, blonde and buxom, ripe for impregnation. She witnessed the earlier carnage you wreaked upon her family and friends and is absolutely terrified, no one left and trying to hide from your proud alien warband. She will be your wife. You rush over to her, dismount your steed and mount her supple young virginal body as she screams and tries to fight back in futility. You hold her down and plunge your meaty Yamnaya cock into her tight, untouched vagina, pounding her repeatedly until you erupt against her cervix, flooding her canal with your seed and fertilising her ripe eggs. Tied up and taken back to your camp she is now your trophy of conquest, bearing a litter of superior R1b males to repeat this beautiful and glorious cycle. This is just another day in the life of an Indo-European man. The genesis of our beautiful and beloved continent.

SQUID INK LMAO

>Ethiopians
>Greeks
>Moors
>Some Jews
>Napoleon

so is E1B1B the best?

I've got more skin in the game than anyone in this thread.
Prove me wrong.

>not being antifragile and having soul in the game

>>11715989
Very much midwit core, written to make people feel good about not knowing or doing anything important.

>>11714383
Taleb is a dick who can't fill enough pages to feed his unbearable ego.
I like the content, but damn, all that narcisism

>>11715008
whoa i love communism now!

Antifragile was a lot better.

>>11717074
This board is midwit central. There's a reason almost everyone here circle jerks to continental philosophy in a vain attempt to look intellectual. About all the verbally intelligent innumerate leftists here have is their run away arrogance so it's not shock the mediocrities here don't like his work.

>>11719851
cool words there buddy whered you get them at

>>11714810
I am NOT an arab.

>>11717074
t. IYI

>>11715710
white nationalist Alex McNabb actually got an autographed copy of the book, so I don't think this book contradicts /pol/ in anyway, but I've never read it so idk.
