VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
💡 “The blazing fire makes flames and brightness out of everything thrown into it.” - Marcus Aurelius
💡“The Antifragile benefits from disorder, errors and stressors” - Nassim Taleb
💡“A couple days ago I finally got being a good startup founder down to two words: relentlessly resourceful.” - Paul Graham
💡“Flâneur: Someone who, unlike a tourist, makes a decision opportunistically at every step to revise his schedule (or his destination) so he can imbibe things based on new information obtained. In research and entrepreneurship, being a flâneur is called “looking for optionality.” A non-narrative approach to life.” - Nassim Taleb
💡“What I learn on my own I still remember” - Nassim Taleb
💡 "Formal Education selects for those who don't know how to handle uncertainty" - Nassim Taleb
💡 Nassim Taleb on Seneca: " He was not against wealth, but against “dependence on wealth”. He wanted the upside of wealth without the downside."
💡 “The only way you know you are alive… is if you like variability. If you are antifragile, that means you are alive.”

Formal education can be very valuable , 1st it forces you to accomplish learning in a limited time frame, 2nd it exposes you to multiple sources of knowledge and accelerates your growth , it makes you have experiences you will probably not know exist or have the stamina or fortitude to complete. One of course should keep growing, education should not be the end but only the start of life long learning.

[@anthonysteen56]

The catch in your idea is that to really get the value from the books YOU, the individual, has to do the exercise that Picking Nuggets is offering. The value of the offer is mostly an illusion. The value of wisdom cannot be consumed only earned. That’s why there’s nobility in being in the entertainment business. 100% of the value is obtained through passive consumption

[@jarinorvanto4301]

Harm avoidance or neuroticism are fragile characteristics, methinks. Obsessive compulsiveness is too.

[@tjdoss]

Question on Seneca: can someone explain, from a psychological point of view: given the wealth and power Seneca had, would it have been possible for him to truly face abject poverty or tough circumstances to keep him grounded? He had a conscious safety rope and I wonder if a person is truly in abject poverty, would stoicism even apply.

[@EvelinaDeLain]

Seneca/Tim Ferris talking about living a couple of days a month on the cheap only lands with 1st world, imagine giving this advise to a single mother in a village in a 3d world who has to feed 3 kids. Or someone fleeing the war with only a shirt on their back. But yes, for first world problems all of this is useful.

[@PickingNuggets]

agree!

[@jonathanlivingston7358]

You’re contradicting yourself. You’re equating trauma with a limited stressor. Of course psychologists do not talk about post traumatic growth as defined by you since a limited stressor, in the context of optimal growth, it is not trauma. A limited stressor in this context occurs within the optimal window of challenge and development. In this context, trauma is by definition NOT a limited stressor. It’s a stressor that overwhelms the internal human system which stays locked in it to a degree that makes it very difficult to unlock. So, no, I’m the context of optimal growth trauma is not a limited stressor.

[@llmgk]

Yeah, it didn’t come across right. But in his writings, he touches on it just like how you laid it out

[@jktraderkicks]

Very ironic by Nassim - that dude is one of the most fragile people out there.

[@soul17169]

[@DrAlexVasquezICHNFM]

Yeah, I don’t know how dumb someone will have to be to take advice from a guy who talks about risk and then wears two masks

[@PickingNuggets]

That particular risk is scalable. Thus he applies his "Precautionary Principle". It all depends on the nature of the risk (scalable or not) and the implied long term assymmetry

[@jimjones3482]

Taken is a one hit wonder hack. he actually knows shit all about most things he talks about and in no way practices what he preaches.

[@memumanother5956]

It's interesting that masks have become political. I didn't see any or hear comments about surgeons or medical staff wearing their masks in the past. Why would they wear them if they do nothing to protect the wearer and the patient.

[@jimjones3482]

@@memumanother5956 it's not about the effectiveness (which is debatable), it's about the freedom to choose whether or not to wear a mask, and the way people who try to live their lives in normalcy without a dirty rag on their face were attacked and literally hated for it by others who think it's ok to remove people's freedoms because they are scared of something. It's a slippery slope.

[@memumanother5956]

@jimjones3482 I agree so much political rubbish. It was the same for hydroxychloroquine and they did a trial with 3 times the dose and many people died to try to show it was dangerous I've taken it and ivermectin all safe after. However best to use logic and if I think it's risky then I will wear a mask.
