          😂 you still don’t get @nntaleb point. You’re estimating the mean using an estimator called an “average”. That works for certain thin tailed distributions, but is completely useless for other, fat tailed distributions. So, yes, you have “evidence” based on an incorrect assumption

          Answer me this: Do you think that falling off ladders is a bigger threat to societal “violence” than terrorism? Based on your “evidence”, that would be the “rational” conclusion. cc: .@nntaleb

          "Pride goeth before the fall." If you're quick to throw shade at what Taleb is saying here, maybe time to check your cognitive dissonance. Consider maybe—just maybe—Taleb's making a point you haven't even considered, talking past your current understanding.
