Lastly: 1) I’m pretty sure you don’t take risks related to the things you opine about a lot (US politics, Syria) 2) it’s pretty clear what kind of risks Taleb takes as a public figure and investor/trader, just to name 2 big sources of ACTUAL significant risk

I have taken risks against my life with regard to Islamism. And no, it's not clear that Taleb takes any risks. But even if we are charitable and assume that he does take risks wrt investing, how the hell does that qualify him to discuss IQ or any other aspect of evo psych?

I see you opining on foreign policy and other political matters all the time... Also, I follow people with whom I generally don’t agree (there’s even posts of you that I’ve liked). It’s called an open mind and escaping one’s echo chamber.

I don’t have an issue admitting you sometimes have great posts, and that while I think you seem to possess several IYI characteristics you’re an interesting guy to follow. Doesn’t mean I don’t find your criticism of a great mind like Taleb ridiculous
