Some timecodes:

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!

"You should never tell people what they should be doing. You should tell them what you're doing."

You should own your risk.

U can't walk away from risks u've created for others. Excellent line

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

I heard of him via the Black Swan but never listened to any of his talks. Very insightful man. I will buy his book.

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

We need to keep this guy alive for a few generations. The world needs him.

Fantastic, Taleb's ideas are powerful and profound.

I just adored this,very helpful I have so many questions and nobody but Google to ask. I'm going to read your books asap because I'm super confused and the anxiety about this path is intense.

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

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

This man is a freaking polymath. He wrote shit in a old school volume style like a freaking G

Despite his rather harsh ways this is what a genious sounds like: very sophisticated ideas with complex and imense impact; delivered in short, concise, very easy concepts.

I read ‘Antifragile’ a few years ago and did not like it, less for the actual content but his tone. But listening to this talk absolutely blew my mind. Taleb is spot-on. Controversial, destructive but sincere in his statements.

Just read the book ! Nassim is my favourite modern thinker, but listening to him discuss his ideas is like listening to Mozart mangled by an 8 year old.

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 TRshow instead of quietly in a paper or in front of a receptive audience setting - ultimate risk taking.

This guy is a freaking genius.
