I feel like I keep having to be reminded that emic exists even for my own self

I think it kinda doesn’t for anyone born after world war 2. Post modernity kills the Emic experience unless you live under a rock. Hence baudrillard simulation

One exception. Any role to which idea of a “killer instinct” applies is emic. Lawyers, soldiers, sports pros. If you die or kill in simulation you die or kill in real life. Even if it’s only social death. 100% skin in the game =100% emic. Hence taleb vibes for “told for true”

I think taleb would love-hate that if he got it but I think he secretly believes he can cheat death if he just makes himself convex enough

I think he convexifies his life by picking beefs and ranting about IQ and haplogroups where others would just be depressed for a bit. I’d death is emic, murder beats suicide for convex goodness

I think it really pisses him off that at the end of the day we all have exactly the same amount of skin in the game of life: 100%. And the relative utility of life is zero given denominator eternity. That’s unfair in his book
