Unironically antifragile by Taleb
He reccomends reading only old, serious books and gossip journalism, disgregarding the so called "serious journalism"

Stop posting this worthless meme. It has no empirical backing, it's just a cope for people with brainlet worldviews (e.g. the conservative christians, like Vox Day, who started this shit term)

>>14733667
i think he specifically says twitter and big old books

>>14733909
Sounds absolutely based to me.

>>14733782

You are providing empirical backing right now.

It's a shit idea. Doing construction management where I translated the desires of multimillionaires to alcoholic felons. Chilling with los alomos and oak ridge researchers. Providing life skills training to adults with down syndrome. I've see so much. Your image looks like a justification to shit on atheists using IQ. The curve in your image better describes the happiness to self awareness ratio. Can't see what you don't know? no problem. Can see what you don't know but can't learn it? humbling or depressing based on your emotional maturity. Can see what you know and it's a lot? fucking awesome. mixing up the far left and far right under the pretense of religion? far left.

nah 80% of my guys were solid, and I had to work my way up. I was just speaking in hyperbole because this is a philosophy board.

>He reccomends reading only old, serious books and gossip journalism
unironically this is based as fuck
there are higher truths that appeal to the intellectual aristocracy, and lower truths that appeal to the masses, but nobody gives a shit about the middle that only appeals to midwits, they're not numerous enough to make a difference by numbers or smart enough to make an intellectual difference

>>14735179
