Having Nassim Taleb in Armenia is really outstanding. He is really a very disruptive thinker, a genuine person with a real skin in the game. Chapeau Monsieur Taleb.

[@Pedomomoisha]

Wow, i had read the Black Swan so many years ago and have great respect for Mr. Taleb. To see him interviewed by our Mr. Hacopian says volumes about the great job the folks at Covilnet are doing.

[@balabani]

Thank you Eric for this insightful interview with Dr. Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

[@grigoryalexandrovitchpecho6934]

This is SUCH an unexpected treat, hell yeah. Huge Taleb fan!

[@nicbentulan]

NNT claims to have more Jewish than gentile friends despite NNT's anti-Israel views. What's your opinion of this please? Maybe it's like how Bobby Fischer had many Jewish-or-American friends at least inside chess...

[@noricd]

My summary of SIX RAP TOPICS between Nassim Taleb and Eric Hacopian: 1. antifragile national resilience, comparing nearby "stable" dynastic, authoritarian states to antifragile Armenia; antifragile is a Taleb concept meaning that things that get pressured or bashed a lot are less fragile, 2. why Large Language Models can be useless if caught (as they often are) in self-feeding information loops reguritating what is popularly appearing on the web, 3. why the West has significant identity wars, 4. lifestyle advantages of Lebanon and Armenia compared to the West, 5. following on from 4, the societal mental health benefits of people being embedded in a community, and 6. the split in the West between the elites and the masses on a range of topics, and between the young (under 30) and older (over 60) demographic, for example in their respective views on that lobby and its celebration of slaughter in Gaza.

i have to listen to this twice to absorb everything he said. Great interview.

[@gp4146]

Thank you for that legendary speaker 👍🏻🇦🇲

[@nobody_8_1]

Brilliant. This man deserves his distinguished title.

[@doughayden]

Great Interview. I've read 5 of Nassim's books ... my eyes have opened and my mind expanded!

[@sigilpop]

Thanks for uploading this great talk with the master Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a huge fan. Antifragile was my favorite read from last year.

[@smirhash]

Enjoyed the conversation, long live Armenia, cheers from your brothers in Iran.

[@zabugorsk]

Thank you for this insightful conversation!

[@franciscomachado9946]

Mr. Taleb hit it right on the head about the West's lack of cohesion relating to the social fabric.

[@yuliaantonyan8991]

So interesting an interview!

[@salpi2529]

Quite interesting and insightful commentary your guest viewpoint was very interesting, hope to here more of your perspective. Much success.🙏🏻🇦🇲

[@portcontainer9727]

Excellent interview! Thank you! The day is very close when Greece and Armenia will take back their lands! Patience, preparation, and faith!

[@neonovalis]

Stop that war mongering

[@mannequinofscots5246]

This is a surprise !

[@AminYousefi-k2o]

Thank you

[@ArmenianBishop]

I like the chess set, on the table behind Nassim. Great to see it there!

[@nicbentulan]

Speaking of chess NNT claims to have more Jewish than gentile friends despite NNT's anti-Israel views. What's your opinion of this please? Maybe it's like how Bobby Fischer had many Jewish-or-American friends at least inside chess...

[@mutazsayegh2840]

I'm not sure how one can have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Taleb and only spend 20 min. with him!

[@avecus]

12:06 Yes Nassim we are real, even the blocked ones.

[@robbie_]

I had no idea he was associated with the RAND Corporation. I was reading a book recently about nuclear policy by Daniel Ellsberg (The Doomsday Machine). I wonder if Taleb has been involved in that.

[@samirelzein1095]

Nassim Taleb the maestro

[@GoldBrosjewelry]

Id like to know if NN has opinion on USA illegal drug situation..

[@jamesmarsh4047]

nassim is right about online friends

[@mosesd9005]

i do think that Armenians in Armenia do have somewhat of a cultural/identity crisis. one with the attachment and disassociation with Russia and Russian culture. many people, even younger people, think, act and see themselves as more Russian than Armenian, unfortunately. hopefully this will change.

[@donmarley69]

Very nice to hear from a great mind, less so his Armenia comments. 😜

[@ДавидМовсесян-и4з]

Holy cow!

[@MalvinderKaur-e7x]

the small Nations are struggling on energy issues because they cannot buy anything essentials mostly fuels in international markets because of dollars as exchange medium that is first hurdle they are facing a pressing issue for such a long time and only factor of those breaking down eventually in disorder and previous leaders funneling as much as foreign exchange and fleeing because they cannot change the situation.

[@redman6790]

@12:20 Live local, earn global. The gateway to antifragility...

[@philippwaag2173]

funny how the host uses the world "ROBUST" in his first question... surely taleb was pissed about this word choice... as he writes in his book ANTIFRAGILITY thats exactly the questions reporters ask him... ROBUSTNESS is smth that is indifferent to shock. the whole point of ANTIFRAGILITY is that ..and its even the subtitle of the book "things that gain from disorder." the concept of robustness is about things that are largely indifferent to disorder... while FRAGILITY is about things that get harmed by disorder. i advice the listeners not to connect taleb´s work with ROBUSTNESS ^^. p.s.: i might be wrong and the interviewer literally meant ROBUSTNESS. also the interviewer seemed very educated so i dont want to make fun of him at all.

[@qwertyazerty5]

Did he just say Learn Language Models?

[@pryazhnikov]

Am I the only one who finds Taleb working for Rand Corportation problematic? Stable countries are generally those US is not messing with

[@verapamil07]

Did he wear two masks and googles for this interview or just two masks, to fight Covid?

[@dailybookreading]

Need to go through various 'Mental Models' to understand various bias.

[@dailybookreading]

Map is not territory.

[@philippwaag2173]

@dailybookreading... could you elaborate on that?

[@mateusz3162]

thank you but really - you kill each other with Azers for land and you say you do not have culture wars in Armenia?

[@dar1948]

The notion of " unequivocal US support for Israel" is beyond naive. Nassim makes a beginner mistake by confusing the US administration retoric with the overall real politic strategy toward Israel. The latter has little to do with a genuine support

[@miloud8520]

It makes me laugh so hard 😂😂😂😂 He’s been KISSING the establishment ASS for over 20 years. look at his previous interviews. Opportunistic until he dies… it’s in the blood and he cant do anything about it.

[@Gregoryking-e9q]

[@Sharkofwatches]

Kissinger is textbook...😂...

[@cryptocryptov8833]

Taleb genius but so hard to listen him

[@grunt9044]

The end of Nassims diatribe was just awful 😂. Dude has no idea of regional power dynamics. No Skin In The Game

[@Gregoryking-e9q]
