@themattsimpson @sarahdoingthing I remember this guy, I think he misunderstands Taleb pretty badly (not that that's hard).

@St_Rev I privilege inaction, but speech seems different - a kind of deprivation to only see others' certified-as-correct conclusions -
@St_Rev useful to see their suspicions as well -
@sarahdoingthing I have a really unforgiving filter for people who boldly say things that are wrong. "Maybe <untrue thing>?" is OK -
@St_Rev is untrue things being believed not as bad as untrue things stated boldly? stating boldly seems more calculated to change own belief -
@sarahdoingthing Actually I'm puzzled here. Stating boldly usually strikes me as a status grab. cf http://st-rev.livejournal.com/399666.html -
@St_Rev within peer-ish relationships, though, it's a status RISK - you might lose if wrong, might win (hence motivation to share) if right -
@St_Rev likely to lose even if right, if conclusion is gross/sacredness violation -
@sarahdoingthing Having difficulty following this, very probably becausepic.twitter.com/z8vTGJVKJz
