This review is just prattling on about a distinction without a difference. Taleb's point is that the stakes were life and death, not that one kind of death counted more or less.

That review is utter nit picking bullshit.

I acquired the book from libgen. It's great stuff and even more Taleby than his previous books (I doubt you'll like it if you disliked his other stuff) but he kind of blew his load in his free medium posts and the book is not as substantial as Antifragile. It is not made redundant by Antifragile and it is also extremely timely, as the media screams that it should be the centralised arbiter of everything.

I have to say that I loved the medium posts. They are a through rebuke of link wristed leftist humanitiesfags and cuckwervatives and the shit that passes for intellectualism by the standards of the mainstream media and publishers

Yeah, it's sloppy, uneven and not well argued at all.

It was tepid and insubstantial. It's also not as forceful as I had hoped.
Where was the hard-line drive against the pear-shaped war-monger etc? Instead he just somewhat pathetically ranted and raved about Pinker.

Better wait for Murray's book in my view.

Everything Murray writes is lucid, well-argued and is extremely forceful.
Funny how Murray's demeanor is the opposite of Taleb.

>jew keeps trying to b8 taleb into saying he's anti-islamic when taleb has made it very clear in the past that he's not, just anti-saudi sandnigger shit

Typical shit, trying to stir up conflict between Christians and Muslims. He made interesting points on both Christ and Trump though.

He says that Trump was more authentic than anyone else at the republican debates and that was enhanced by people pointing out his failures, because it meant that Trump actually took risks with his own money. On Christ, he posits that we keep the god/man thing around despite all of the theological trouble it has caused because God, being almighty, cannot suffer, but it's hard to identify with something that can't experience this fundamentally human sensation. All of the Greek gods had their moments of trouble and pain, and Christ represents that for the Christian God, he's God's skin in the game so to speak, something that shows he is sincere. He gave us his son to show us the right way.

I also like how he very simply spells out he difference between Islam and Christianity, Islam is law, Christianity is not. Islam is to Confucianism as Christianity is to Buddhism in a sense.

>I am a professional book reviewer, and rarely write over 2000 words on a book. Anyone who writes a 5000-word review for free is obsessed: Taleb probably failed to autograph this guy's copy of The Black Swan.
