Taleb hates Peterson now

>>14889722
Taleb is such a typical arrogant narcisitic lebo

>>14889722
i wonder if taleb actively works on being a prick or if it just comes naturally

>>14890097
he's based. he usually hates the same pseuds that 4chan hates too
>>14890110
he just doesn't give a fuck. he made fuck you money back in '89 or something and he's self-sufficient enough that he doesn't have to be politically correct.

Saved. Holy shit that's hilatorious. I swear I'm gonna read the black swan as soon as possible.

Does anyone else here think Taleb's books are better than Peterson's?

>>14891288
Yes. I've only read Fooled by Randomness and Black Swan but those were better than 12 Rules and Maps of Meaning (a fucking snoozefest)
Nassim is a deadlifter and Peterstein cries on camera. That's the difference between a chad and a virgin

but frankly this is just rude. I like Taleb's books but I don't see why you need to be rude to be people for absolutely no reason?

Who are the good intellectuals, in your opinion?

Pinker? Zizek? Peterson? Dugin? Lol.

>>14891830
>he's not behind the paywall

>>14891378
Maybe he feels P O W E R F U L when he strokes his ego.

>>14891830
I am. You make the mistake of not recognizing me as such.

>>14891830
Nick Land is probably the only intellectual alive right now. Notice how Taleb never bothered to troll him because he is too dumb to grasp Land's teachings. He only goes for other midwits like him (the ones you mentioned) since their arguments are much easier to attack.

>>14891830
Not him but I'd say yes to all of them. That they enrage peabrain like yourself or Taleb is proof enough.

>>14891051
Fucking based arab merchant

>>14891894
they're not really allowed to debate Nick Land because it would be considered 'giving racism a platform'. Simply letting Land defend what he thinks on some popular forum is basically 'spreading fascist hate speech' for them. They seem to think that whatever Land and people like him think is a memetic virus that can't be allowed to even be said publicly lest it infect others.

>>14891839
>paywall
IOW, what a relief, now, that I no longer have to listen to him now that he has stepped away from the public conversation

>>14890097

>>14892134
The real reason why nobody debates Nick Land is because he is an incoherent cokehead

Anon, if only most of these posts are you (I confident they all are), I highly recommend taking a few days off of the internet and doing something else. Anything. Go outside, read a book, listen to music all day, go shopping, whatever. I say this with the utmost care for your well-being, internet culture and its noxious style of discourse, specifically of the autistic-malcontent type common on 4chan, has deeply and severely damaged your brain -- you've become a victim of memetic programming, a demented vessel for the most vacuous and petulant words of 4chan's Id run amok, ruining the physical lives and mental health of many young people who've had the misfortune of falling prey to its evils. Fret not, anon, for all you have to do, and listen to me very careful, is simply get off of the internet for a few days. That's it. You'll be back to normal, I promise. Hopefully it hasn't rendered you completely incapable of self-reflection and having thoughts free of its domain. Good luck, anon.

>>14893091
fuck off imbecile

FAD DADS lmao

Look at my smart ass reply's on social media. I told you I'm based.

what's the deal with this guy? Never read a book by this guy yet somehow I feel like this board is trying to meme me into his work.

You think?? He's got a Phoenician army shilling, next will be the Flagstifians ; before you know the whole state of Arizona will be playing the black game, Skin in the Swan.

>>14891378
>hy you need to be rude to be people for absolutely no reason?
It's his arab genes

>>14890117
>4chan is one person
go back

So what's the point of his books? Sell them to me.

>>14894551
It's about managing risk and uncertainty in life

>>14893122
Oh so you're the worst 3...

Is it wrong to check Taleb's twitter twice everyday, and retweet and like all of his tweets?

>>14894590

>>14894597
If you're on twit-er you're already doing it wrong.

rookie numbers

Peterson's Maps of Meaning is totally free to download in his website.

>>14889722
Taleb is an IYI:

Intelligent Yet Insufferable

>>14889722
Taleb is an irrational fool. His decisions aren’t based on evidence. His comments on Philip Tetlock’s work shows that.

He has nightly wet dream that he's the Tony Soprano of the social media intellectuals mafia

>>14889722
the fuck has this araboid said to make this place suck his dick? all i see is him saying dumb shit on the twitter, is he some quasi nazi that incels love him so much or what?

>>14890022

>fooled by randomness
It explains that in the extreme majority of cases succesful people owe their success to luck and not their abilities, but it's more comfortable for them to think that it's the fruit of their own efforts. Luck is stronger than people think, it can make you or break you.
Mathematical evidences of said thesis

Humans are completely unable to predict the future, yet our current society is based on the belief we are able to (economists, politicians, "innovators").

He's 100% right about you though. You just repeated a bunch of meme insults, incoherently and incorrectly thus removing what little meaning they had and making your posts completely void of meaning. Its like you are having a debate but instead of saying actual words you just make sounds matching disapproval or disagreement.
Go outside and do something else besides browsing 4chan, and maybe after that try formulating your thoughts in a coherent way instead of a meme drenched format.
