Baldness is an evolutionary mechanism for people to have more skin in the game, all else being equal.

I once visited a hotel where they gave you a $10 daily credit if you chose not to have your room cleaned. I liked that.

it's unbelievable how he gives the talk in this kind of a fractal manner where it's sometimes difficult to make sense of certain elements but as it starts approaching the end, everything becomes clearer and clearer and at the end it all makes sense - really good talk and interesting ideas!

I like the peacock guy. That's skin in the game. Really putting yourself behind what you believe and that too by confronting Nassim Taleb on video that would be put on KZbin instead of quietly in a paper or in front of a receptive audience setting - ultimate risk taking.

He's got so much he wants to get out that he can't stick on most thoughts for long.. not a great speaker but interesting and genuine

[@varunkapur5640]

The guy got pretty sentimental about the peacock

Nassim Taleb's book antifragile changed my life. I am so excited about this book. & also scared.

[@Leandrasjones]

I completely agree.. so many books, especially the nonfictional ones can be summaries instead of full books!

[@DharmendraRaiMindMap]

Great to listen to Taleb always A rare mix of truthfulness and genius

[@asgunzi]

Fantastic, Taleb's ideas are powerful and profound.
