Dear enemies, detractors, libellers, university rats, genocide propagandists, ethnic cleansing & baby murder promoters, & label conscious Davos midwits, it also happens that #Antifragility is the most influential 21st C. concept.
Dear enemies,The Black Swan is now the most influential (that is, discussed/mentioned) 21st C book. While almost all books have a half-life between 2 and 6 months, it does not appear to have a half-life. #Lindy [Same with other 4 books in the Incerto. Graph is US only]

A someone who enjoys cursing online, I would like this "authenticity" to be true, though I've always believed Adam Grant to be a fucking idiot. But, alas, as someone who favors "authenticity", the connection is too noisy to be relied upon in real life.
Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity. Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy. A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.
I feel like tagging @nntaleb, so he can unintentionally diss the conclusion from this statistic.
Fast walkers tend to have higher IQ & larger brains than slow walkers.
Laura Loony seems stupid enough to bullshitting where she can be caught. There are a lot of North Arabian tribes that did not convert to Islam & still bear Arabian garb. Hawatmeh is a well known Christian North-Arabian clan. They have been Christian for perhaps 2000 years.
This is the Chief of Staff for the GOP conference Chair @RepLisaMcClain. His name is Nick Hawatadeh @Nick_Hawatmeh. He is a Jordanian and goes around claiming to be a “Christian”. Does this look like a Christian to you? When I found these pictures, he scrubbed his social…
Burying MY THIRD SON whom I lost along with MY WIFE during the 2-year-Israeli genocide in Gaza..
Today I ordered @sapinker's new book: 1) unlike his recent touristy stuff on statistics of wars & on the enlightenment, this connects to his specialty (language) & 2) was endorsed by Aumann (a loathsome anti-Palestinian settler-colonialist but greatest expert on game theory).
According to civil defense in Gaza, 100 bodies of civilian Palestinians were recovered from under the rubble with signs that they were field executed by the Israeli army. An estimated 10,000 bodies are still under the rubble.
DISINFORMATION BUSTING DUJOUR -In the "Mountain War" Christians vs Druze, Israel sided with the Druze, w/ethnic cleansing. -It was the Allawite Assad who saved the Christians in 1976 as they were losing the war. -The "civil war" was both directly & indirectly CAUSED by Isra3l.
Israelis fought and bled for two decades to help preserve the Christian majority in one of the region’s countries — Lebanon. From the 1980s to the 2000s, Israel fought side by side with Lebanon’s Christians during the civil war there. It was the Palestinians who were fighting…
Lies, likely the "$7K Bibi" Hasbara at work. I walk around Amman with a cross the size of Minneapolis & nobody has ever bothered me. There are even North Arabian tribes (Haddadin) in Jordan that are Christian & were never pushed to convert in the past 1400 years.
An Indian secular Hindu YouTube vlogger went to visit Jordan, a Muslim country, where he claims he was forced to convert to Islam by many. He is now confused about his and their ideology!
This is important for the ICJ case. The delberate use by the Israeli government of false images to justify the destruction of hospitals plainly goes to evidence of genocidal intent, not collateral damage.
Why doesn't BBC Verify carry out this invaluable fact-checking work. Instead we have to wait for an Israeli magazine to do the job. 972mag.com/israeli-army-3…
I don't know if things got better for @CharlesMurray, but it takes some erudition to write about religion, something he seriously lacks. Scumbag made 15 mistakes in a single page on his book on the "West". I didn't bring it up in debate & he paid be back with ingratitude.
If you're planning on buying Taking Religion Seriously, please consider preordering. It's a big help to authors in a variety of ways. amazon.com/Taking-Religio…
Odd, given that the IDF, and their lickspittle lackeys in the UK press, and willing social media Genocide Fanclub members, (you know who you are) spent months telling us that the Israelis weren't blocking aid and it was all the fault of the UN...
Israel says 600 aid trucks, carrying food, medical equipment, shelter supplies, fuel and cooking gas, will be allowed to enter Gaza daily through the UN, accredited international organisations and the private sector. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/87zdo6
For no reason.
No. Any tool that generates curves like the one below is a bullshit generator and can't be used for any inferences. It does, however, tell me how rigorous the NIH director is about checking sources — an excellent Wittgenstein's ruler (c/o @nntaleb).
Life expectancy in the US and Sweden in the 21st Century. Why has US (but not Swedish) life expectancy flatlined since 2010? Why did covid cause three years of life expectancy collapse in the US, but not in Sweden? It's time to make America healthy again.
Venezuela’s🇻🇪 President Maduro: ‘Israel’s massacres in Gaza are the most horrific genocide since Hitler’ Maria Corina Machado: ‘Venezuela’s struggle is Israel’s struggle’ The Venezuelan politician that supported Israel in carrying out a Holocaust just won the Nobel Peace Prize
Venezuela’s🇻🇪 election loser Maria Corina Machado has won the Nobel Peace Prize: ‘If we win, we will move the Venezuelan embassy to Jerusalem to support Israel.’ Like many other US-backed Latin American politicians, her policies are copy & paste support for Israel, support for…
