just taking a short position isn't easily done and is capital intensive, a well placed put option is a much better idea. I and many others saw this coming a month and a half ago because you can't shut down 17% of the global economy and with it the global supply chain and not expect huge disruption, all the faggots losing their money now deserve it big time.

Midwits do purchase and read his books. I only said they are unable to get the point. Taleb is aware of this:

>The IYI has a copy of the first hardback edition of The Black Swan on his shelves, but mistakes absence of evidence for evidence of absence. He believes that GMOs are “science”, that the “technology” is not different from conventional breeding as a result of his readiness to confuse science with scientism.

Big books too. He didn't cheat with novellas. It was a whole series of novels. I made a rough calculation of the word number once and it was around 350 pages (400 words each page) per day.

Probably the most a person of normal (non-Bloomian, if Bloom isn't lying about his) abilities can do.

I have read 300 pages in one day in the past, but can't imagine having the discipline to do it 20 days straight.

>> No.14864621

He reads 5 to 10 hours a day. He says so in Antifragile.

He's been doing it for decades. Furthermore, he can read in English, Lebanese, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek, Arabic, Babylonian, and I don't know what else. Harold Bloom knew less languages than Taleb, I think.
