Bad analogy. U cords get rid of themselves. Try the appendix. Better analogy. It was thought to be vestigial until only recently. You’d have called it useless and removed it w/o thought. Turns out it’s got a purpose.

It's ironic that Taleb speaks so frequently of assessing people based on their actions rather than their "tawk", yet he consistently acts tyrannically, while accusing others of being tyrants for their (uncharitably interpreted) words.

What's more interesting is that, far from arguing thar it was vestigial or useless, Weinstein actually argues that religion evolved to help us survive and reproduce: it has biological roots. Taleb somehow misses this.

Some people make soup out of U cords so after birth, they are still more useful and fulfilling than religion.
