>Irrelevant to my point. He still has easy access to esteemed publishing houses and can publish in the most "august" newspapers.
Taleb went to plenty of publishers and they refused to publish his first book.
>He couldn't do that if he became a race realist, so he isn't one. Simple as.
He's not a race realist because he realises that it's pseudoscience, just like IQ.
>bro censorship is based!
Censoring imbeciles is based; that's why Taleb blocks imbeciles. Imbeciles don't bring new arguments or ideas to the table, they just keep repeating the same ones.
>no he wasn't
Check my last post. The picture shows Taleb's devastating review of one of Murray's books.
>yes because you have none
Whatever, imbecile.
>You're asserting he knows more than an entire field of people.
He does. Psychologists and IQ researchers are IYIs.
>Do you really think one man has refuted an entire field, the dozens of meta analyses, and cumulative research of almost a century?
Yes, they're based on faulty math and statistics. Taleb knows that most academics are IYIs anyways.

>Believing in a god gives you a vague understanding of reality
Believing in God does not effect your understanding of reality. It changes our behaviour, not our understanding of reality.
>Oh, so it's just to make you feel good. How childish
You have a childish understanding of religion. Religion is a risk-survival heuristic.

Never spread your midwit opinions about religion again until you read Taleb.

>Why yes, I did BTFO atheism, Kant, IQ, nordicism, afrocentrism, and race realism. How could you tell?
>Oh, I see, you read my books.
