His books are great at popularizing statistical concepts everyone should know. That's why we talk about him.

But the last few years on Twitter he's become:
>extremely quick to call people racist, starting with the utter fucking lie that IQ is meaningless. No, Fat Boy, we never said IQ is only a linear correlation to future wealth. "Muh billionaire outliers, muh fat tails." Let me assign you 100 dolts with 80 IQ and I'll take 100 120 IQ normies for a random project and we'll see who fares better.
>super-duper pro vax, pro-mandate. OK, Mr. Personal Freedom Flaneur.
>The most thin-skinned person on twitter (among non-far left who are in a different category). Unless you agree with him on every single point, you're an imbecile and he has a temper tantrum.
>Bizarre attempt to pass off as a tough guy. Today he's swooning over a mobster again.

lol, yes, he's like the autistic kid ranting and raving over which Pokemon is best and no one even knows WTF he's talking about.

He's got a weird inferiority complex about being Lebanese, an ethnicity even the race hustlers can't get excited about.

He always looks fat and pudgy. How can he pose as a tough, gym-going health-expert anywhere? There was this essay by some guy who speculated that Taleb earned his money by clinging to smarter guys and then after that, shiller his brand for years with the help of Malcolm Gladwell and others.
