I like him but im realizing more and more that his med supremacy narrative is literally the same shit take as a fat nordiboo who thinks hes a viking.

I can accept that an arab can have great insight (and i think he does) but i wonder if he shouldn’t be discounted somewhat due to his larping as a European. It makes you wonder what his other blind spots are.

Taleb feels more like the Wittgenstein of the 21st century. But instead of language he deals with Risk.

have you read plato?

how is the guy who thinks about chaos and complexity similar to the guy who tries to synthesize chaos into order?

Taleb is literally focused on fiding order within the complexity and the aberrant. Well, less than order, more like consistency.

I would say Taleb is like Heraclitus

“No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man"

this is to say, there's consistency in your conception of the river, it's relative location is stable, but there is fundamentally change at the root.

What have nords actually done in history? I'll never understand muh nord supremacy. Swedes, Danes, Finns, whatever, are irrelevant to history. Science, technology and progress comes from Germanics and Anglos, while art and culture comes from Meds. Nords are useless.

Im not a nord supremacist — any supremacism is cherry picking of a groups accomplishments and downplaying of faults. I’m just noticing that Taleb has walked dangerously close to med supremacy while not actually being part of the culture that even created these great works in the first place (Lebanon is on the Mediterranean but you wouldn't say an Israeli or an Egyptian are the same peoples and culture as the Greeks). That's why I contrasted his larping with an “el goblino” American who thinks he’s an Aryan aristocrat.

>>13623036
It’s a larp and if you cant see the “we’re better” implications I’m embarrassed for you.
