I think the green lumber parable illustrates why I think Taleb is my evil twin. My takeaway from it is that the actual meaning of green lumber is important and therefore the trading world is bullshit. His lesson seems to be: what lets you trade it well is what’s important.

We’re all going to die eventually anyway. Life is the ultimate guaranteed 100% losing trade. Why not enrich the journey by paying attention to the universe you’re in while you’re passing through it?

Only works if you're right. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing since it progresses non-linearly. (Some) people get dumber with first details like what green means. Bootstrapped abstract cargo cult of existence via pompous narration more dead than mediocre/humble $$$-making.

Then I'm not sure what you're saying is tied to the green lumber fallacy since I read it as being tied to approaches to people that are trying to do "work". I don't see how non-market would be the opposite...
