Nassim Nicholas Taleb - Small is Beautiful--But Also Less Fragile

[@BagHoldingStonks]

Every time this man speaks , i listen. What a wealth of knowledge.

I watch this video on regular intervals so I don't forget a word from it.

My hero! Courage, erudition and shear brilliance!

two personal heroes of mine that have similar practical philosophies without known each other: 1. David Goggins. 2. Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

Just checking to see if the comments were disabled. They're not! The ideas in this video must be more robust since they enjoy the fragility.

Thank you for this talk. Although, I 'd like to say that Taleb's description of Schumacher's book 'Small is Beautiful' as "...there is a romantic version, it sounds good, but it's not science" is a bit unfair. Schumacher was not a scientist, and he never even pretended to be one. His book was more of a philosophical sort of book as opposed to a strictly quantitative one, and he was quite open about it. Taleb's work gives a strong mathematical support to Schumacher's recommendations, and solidifies his ideas, but that doesn't mean Schumacher's ideas are bogus. After all, even the Renaissance started off with the study of humanities. Come to think of it, some of the greatest and most though-provoking masterpieces of literature are 'non-scientific', but they're priceless, nonetheless. Eg: 'A Study in History' by Arnold J Toynbee.

The microphones crossed over is somewhat bothersome! I hope it’s not a stereo feed. Left is now right etc😐

Shouldn't title be "Small is beautiful... AND also less fragile". If that's not a double-positive I dunno what is at this point. :$
