Is Nassim Taleb still ducking you?

[egould310]

I forgot about that.

Bailey, if you see Taleb, smash his face with your fist. Course that would violate the NAP. Maybe just give him the stink palm?

[Heroic Mulatto]

Yes.

[Millennial Hipster Vanguard]

I read his book "fooled by randomness". I want my money back.

[Notorious UGCC]

Because he fooled you?

[Millennial Hipster Vanguard]

Correct.

[Jerryskids]

A propagandist for the Kochtopus at a book festival featuring a social justice warrior and a salute to the LGBTQ community? Will Reason be posting video of the protests against hate speech and the demands for safe spaces?

[Kristen Bids No Trump]

"Jedediah Purdy" has got to be one of the most New England Puritan names I have ever heard.

Now I'm-a have to Google the guy.

[Crusty Juggler]
