Replying to @peterktodd @nntaleb
I believe he publishes academic style papers and maybe does some guest lecturing, but he’s a derivatives trader and disdains academia

Nassim went into academia after trading, he's a published Phd. Daniel Kahneman inspired him to do so. He's also done work with Mandelbrot. His disdain is for the pseudo scientist, bullshit vendors, and especially the macro economist. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nassim_Nicholas_Taleb …pic.twitter.com/TsTtfLjdmi
