@SamHarrisOrg@sapinker "Anyone who tries to interpret art in terms of science is a fool or autistic person"How does@nntaleb get away w/it? -
Taleb: "Science has not been very good at saving lives...has not been good at dealing with evidence" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKDNeb81qME …

@legendre007@julie_kelly2 ...and somehow he is employed by a university. Baffling... -
I have friends saying they champion science & industrialization ... and then they worship Taleb.

Disagree. Your book says violence has declined,
@nntaleb says one WW3 could take that stat away and 70yrs is not enough time to say it's unlikely to happen, so we might just be lucky. Neither your book nor this article refutes that, no matter how little lightning deaths we have. -
Not saying that. Saying 1) There is NO statistical evidence it HAS declined (with stat significance). 2) Pinker is a BS vendor, as evidenced by using as backup a random blogger & ignoring scientific papers. 3) Pinker misinterprets his own data and has not answered yet.

Thanks for the response, and sorry for any misrepresentation! Above response then only reflect my own views and issues with pinker's book, albeit similar.

@sapinker Taleb has done the same on GMOs. Attack with intellectual blather, with an argument riddled with holes.https://medium.com/@dropeik.com/on-taleb-et-al-s-the-precautionary-principle-with-application-to-the-genetic-modification-of-dba21ccf94aa#.vkbyugn3k …Thanks.

@sapinker Has anyone tried to refute the John Vos analysis of N Taleb's criticism of your Better Angels work?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@sapinker Taleb blocked me (and many others) for (very politely) pointing out these errors, as described in that piece, haha. -
The pompous and condescending venom spewing character blocked me as well. The greatest irony being the writer of "Antifragile" is most fragile to criticism! A two faced Janus!

@sapinker Mr Taleb has "Greenwalded" you. -
@haug_carey@sapinker It's 'greenwalded' with a small g & "..." aren't needed in sense you wrote it. Use this neologism correctly please :-) -
@AudeoisJohn@sapinker Thanks for the tip.
