Before I go down this road, I want to say that I did not do an exhaustive search through all his tweets looking for an apology or mea culpa for what follows.
Usually, when people call @nntaleb out, they're wrong.
Maybe he apologized. I don't know.

@nntaleb published this on February 23rd. The whole paper is prescient and brilliant. Note the general precautionary principle paragraph. But let's see what Taleb does when he has some "skin on the line" (different from his definition).pic.twitter.com/3G5mzEQtoH

The next day he's hosting a multi-day gathering. You'll notice that neither he nor any of the participants are wearing masks. But don't worry, he's got an answer for that:pic.twitter.com/JJOL6VCtul

He did RWRI after publishing that? Ouch. Yeah idk. He's been blocking non sycophants for a while maybe it was inevitable.

When I saw him do RWRI and then not wear a mask and then brag about it (?) I was incredulous. I couldn't believe he was doing it. Because he's so often right, I kept on looking through it not believing that it was happening. I'm still open to being corrected somehow...

I totally missed the RWRI part. FWIW I vaguely remember him tweeting getting masks sometimes afterwards (definitely not February).

Does it invalidate any of what I wrote? I don't get your point.

The people are replying to that image like he got the masks from the state of Georgia, but I'd bet good money on it being the country haha..
