(1/2)Your logic is circular, and in many parts of your rebuttle (sic) you over-generalized his assertions and missed broader points. For instance, you mention fat tails and make the comparison to basketball players - that there is more uncertainty with 7' person vs. a 5' person.

(2/2) The broader point is that there is as much uncertainty among the average IQ person as high IQ. To use your example, a person who is 5'10 would have just as many options as a 7' person. Thus your comparison is silly.

22:49 "Socrates never used the word 'epistemology'." There's a good reason for that, Molyneux; the term was not invented in his time and did not appear until much later.

I suspect that Taleb has a pretty good IQ, but wishes it were a lot higher.

Oh, I know. Challenge him to an IQ test and then the one who scores the highest gets to decide what IQ is worth. Do THAT Stefan.

High IQ does not correlate to the ability to not virtue signal apparently. When Taleb says IYI methinks he may be projecting a little.

If iq is like the engine, different aspects of personality are like the steering, the transmission, the chassis and the breaks. I kinda get why he insists on the importance of disagreeablity. That aspect is really important too, as much as iq.

This was enlightening on so many levels. Regarding Taleb, for fun let’s assign him a 220 IQ. Might be close, the dude can math. So, in general for him all whites are stupid, all other races equally stupid. Civilizations fail, he will be fine regardless. It’s not his fight.

In Skin in the Game, Taleb argues passionately for a return of Syria to Shiite rule as was the long run norm. And lots about cultural fluidity over time. Your assessment of in-group preference is spot on I suspect. Humanity for Taleb lives in Petri dish, not his ilk.

I just got dumber watching you blabber incohesive thoughts. Consider this novel idea, before colonization, Europe was in the dark ages and one could comfortably assume other thriving powers looked down on Europe; Fast forward to 100 years after colonization began

And You see Europe rising due to the loot from conquered nations. Stolen natural resources from colonies helped fund Euro R&D that took Eastern innovations and improved them much like China is now doing by taking western innovation and improving them.
