this sounds fun: "Taleb is one of many best-selling authors I don't enjoy, but as he is prolix, pretentious, petulant and clueless, I enjoy commenting on his latest blather" http://falkenblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/taleb-mishandles-fragility.html …
new concept to me and sounds interesting. i think there's something to the idea of an "understanding that cannot be communicated literally" i think the author's point is that it's easily used as a 'if u don't understand i can't explain' cop out though.

there is truth to it though. like a joke where u just 'had to be there'. explaining kills the funny but that doesn't mean that the 'funny' never existed. being *overly* concerned for BS makes one too serious and one can end up thinking 'love' 'laughter' etc.. r imaginary.
