I'm starting to see why lit likes him so much. He's almost as autistic as the average 4chan user

He probably means that Eco didn't act pompously or writerly. It has nothing to do with his physiognomy, of course. Taleb just hates people who "play the part", the surgeon who looks like a Ken doll from the Barbie series.

Which I find ironic since half of Black Swan is him jerking off over all the things he read and how he hates pretentious dumbuggery when the entire book could have been a quarter of the length and more informative for the effect.
