      The real difference in politics isn't the "right" vs "left" gradation but rather "Greek" vs "Roman". + Greek = puts theory above practice + Roman= puts practice above theory Be Roman. Now.

      BTW, Byzantines were diehard Roman. Greek was just a language.

      Many have the illusion that builders used Euclidean geometry. We are lucky they didn't: Euclidean geometry only entered architecture in modern times ...causing the ugly nonfractal structures we have today. #Antifragile: how academics lie abt role of theory: they WRITE history.pic.twitter.com/ZedV2lneL8

      4) Discussion of "Roman" vs "Greek" in #Antifragile based on optionality, which is of course NOT LITERAL & unconditional but a general metaphor: In general, Romans were conscious of 2nd order effects all across, despised theory, tawkers, & vapid philosophising.pic.twitter.com/56sO6o7Nwd

      5) What inspired the Greek/Roman metaphor is the incident when Cato expelled Greek philosophers & rhetors from Rome. Cato was fiercely anti-BS... (from Fooled by Randomness)pic.twitter.com/lfB2br1XgO

      Replying to @nntaleb

      The fact is that however metaphorical your antithesis was, the opposite (Greek=practical Roman=theory) is much, much closer to the truth.
