"If he did nothing illegal, he'd be worth $40 billion today." This is what Taleb calls an absorbing barrier. Even with a winning edge, any venture with a non-zero probability of hitting a ruinous state will eventually fail. It's russian roulette.

Sam Bankman-Fried had the best venture portfolio in history What SBF bought vs. what it's worth today: • Anthropic: $500M → $30.4B (+5,980%) • Robinhood: ~$546M → $5B (+816%) • Solana: 60M SOL at ~$8 → $5.3B at $89 (+1,012%) If he did nothing illegal, he'd be worth $40 billion today Instead he's now he's inmate #37244-510

@realAtlasPress People care for appearances, for what they assume. Not for what things really are.

This was a DELIBERATE TARGETED ATTACK on journalists there's no mistake about it. This was an Israeli precision strike FROM A FIGHTER JET — RT corr Steve Sweeney who was wounded earlier today ‘If they think that they're going to silence us, they're very, very much mistaken’

A central point is that Phoenician city states were not interested in war and domination via land control; with the exception of Carthage, they just wanted commerce.
Timothy Rollings@TimothyRollings

The more the modern world falls apart, the more I understand why the Phoenicians did better after the Bronze Age collapse than the Egyptians. They didn't cling to things "too big to fail," nor did they give up on imagining alternative options.

I'm greedier than most, but life gets boring and nothing beats the chase. Never forget... Only whores do it for the money.

@nntaleb One thing about Nassim Nicholas Taleb: he’s definitely not a bullshitter.

@someguy5676 @Landeur No I agree. But it’s not too different, just a bit more complicated. You’ll pay 0.5% for a managed one. Or you could stick it in various ETFs yourself and save on the fees.

I like this a lot. Normalize the idea of being wrong so that it doesn't negatively affect your clarity of thought Being wrong is a mistake to the fragile and information to the anti-fragile.
Paul Portesi@PaulPortesi

The answer is not if you can be right. We love that feeling. It's how does wrong make you feel. The moment you can invert that feeling, how most feel when they're right vs wrong. That's when you start understanding right vs wrong. Surf the wave of feelings don't swim in them.

@nntaleb Out of those still around today- only the Maestro Nassim Taleb comes to mind. Throughout history…there’s a few more I’m sure.
