Ridiculous from Sicily. Don't care how much we're winning by, that's just not on. And the nerve to complain to the umpire afterwards! Big fan of the guy but seriously... be a captain, don't be a dickhead. #AFLTigersHawks

@velaschopen @nntaleb I've been trying to reconcile McGilchrist with Alfred North Whitehead. I understand neither deeply enough tbh. I don't know Scheler. I do fan boy follow Taleb.

@nntaleb No. In Max Scheler's terms, true moral integrity is faithfulness to objective values, not self-regard. Values have true ontological reality you may benefit from reading Iain Mcgilcrist

MOTHER OF ALL ETHICAL RULES Moral rectitude is when what you think of yourself matters far more than what others think of you, regardless of the domain, regardless of the circumstances, regardless of the benefits at stake.

@andrewwhite4tx @grok @Dipper_pol Ideally we could buy into Universa, but retail investors at my level are WAY too small. I got a CFD account and bought a few puts but it's hard work, I didn't keep it up for long. If you want to make money in the market do the opposite of whatever I do and you'll win big!

Mark Spitznagel - founder of Universa, the "black swan" fund Nassim Taleb advises - on the most counterintuitive idea in investing: add a 3% sliver of crash insurance to a stock portfolio. give that insurance a 0% expected return - it makes nothing over time. it still raises the portfolio's long-run compound return - by roughly what you'd get from putting that same 3% into an asset returning 20%+ a year. how? by killing the deep drawdowns that quietly destroy compounding. but the insurance has to actually fire in a crash. one that only sometimes pays out is "like a parachute that only sometimes deploys - you're better off not wearing one." most "safe havens" - gold, the dollar, hedge funds, even a Picasso - fail that test. ~13-min talk, free. the man who made ~4,000% in the 2020 crash, on what actually protects you ↓

Nassim Taleb breaks down the Black-Scholes formula - and the story he tells starts with a forgotten man. Louis Bachelier priced options 73 years before Black-Scholes - and modeled Brownian motion 5 years before Einstein. it was 1900. a 30-year-old Frenchman defends a thesis under Henri Poincaré that quietly invents two fields at once: the math of random markets, and the first real formula for pricing options. his reward? the committee marks it down - "too much finance." no top grade, no patron, no career. he spends his life applying for jobs one rank below what his work deserved, and dies forgotten in 1946. then 1973: Black, Scholes & Merton publish the option-pricing formula. it reshapes Wall Street and wins the 1997 Nobel - for two of them (Black had died, so missed it). almost nobody remembers the Frenchman who got there first. and here's Taleb's twist: traders never actually use Black-Scholes. what the market runs on is a version of Bachelier's original. the Nobel, he argues, wasn't even for the pricing - it was for dressing it up to fit the economic theory of the day. ~15-min lecture, free. the man who built modern finance — and watched the credit go to everyone but him ↓

Remember in 2017 when a woman was pushed into the path of a bus on Putney Bridge by a jogger? Well, a 44-year-old multimillionaire private banker with ties to the Royal Family and a former British Army officer has been arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous bodily harm.

@rorysutherland @ClarkeMicah From a marketing, left field or any other non medico/legal pov is there a better, or best way to get more public support for Letby? The likes and comments on posts seem to be fading fast.

@ClarkeMicah I think your time is better spent exonerating Lucy Letby rather than excoriating the car. The first injustice is potentially reversible, I'm afraid the second isn't.

Cycle, a lot if you wish but not too fast, not too competitely (& of course, do not race against yourself on STRAVA). Cardiac arrythmia is endemic in the cycling community. More papers documenting the problemo.

@nntaleb Interesting. The study coincided with the rollout of the covid jabs. Men were notably at risk of peri/myo-carditis from the injections. An injured heart being stressed caused more Atrial Arrhythmia.

My Adobe subscription has a $270 cancellation fee to exit my contract I started in college in 2013. I’ve paid Adobe over $8000 and don’t own anything, and if I want to leave they’ll charge me a heinous fee that is hidden in the fine print, using dark pattern business.

@CjgbVictoria @Noahpinion Yes, I think you are very right. Above, or at least beside that I'd add legal title. Caveats, overlays, usages all good after that.

@Noahpinion When people hear "architecture", they think "architectural style"—but, while important, it's the least important element. Start with urban form: the layout of streets & public spaces, and building typologies. Then, the distribution of uses. *Then* style. Otherwise, you fail.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT WALL STREET HEDGE FUNDS. Q3 2025 Right now, while everyone on @X, as usual, is running around debating who bought and who sold $MSFT, $AAPL, $GOOGL, $AMZN, $META, $NBIS or any other stock that doesn’t matter – I’m going to show you 3 tables. These cover hedge fund performance over 13 quarters, from July 1, 2022 to September 30, 2025: the first one highlights those who outperformed $SPX by 2× or more, and the next two show the eternal dead weight – the ones who can’t even match the benchmark, the ones who would’ve done better if they’d simply had the courage to buy $SPY and stop pretending they understand markets. For context, $SPX returned 86.53% over the same period. Be honest: who do you look up to? Whose photos and quotes do you post? Whose ideas do you like and whose “principles” shape your trading? What are your results over the last 3/5/7 years? Don’t hide from the truth – be honest with yourself. On the stock market, it doesn’t matter what books you’ve written, who your friends were, or what your results looked like ages ago. These numbers are a mirror… and for some, it’s painful to look. And as always – Remember: we are what we eat, we are what we drink, we are what we read, we are what we watch, we are the people we surround ourselves with, we are the ones we imitate, and we are the ones we idolize. Tired of losing? Tired of a portfolio stuck in the red? Tired of selling winners to prop up losers? Tired of treating earnings like a lottery? Tired of hoping “long-term investing” will save you? Maybe you’re just following the wrong people – like everyone else. And maybe that’s why your results look like a rollercoaster, not a path to confidence. Start by reading the post pinned in my profile and just start doing things the right way. It’s entirely in your hands. And no #Buffett, no #Ackman, no #Dalio will help you – they haven’t helped themselves in years. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Top Performers: #Renaissance Technologies, #Kensico Capital Management, #NWI Management, #Coatue Management, #Duquesne Family Office, #Peconic Partners, #Tiger Global Management, #Point72 Asset Management, Donald Smith - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Eternal Dead Weight: #Icahn Enterprises $IEP, #Soros Fund Management, #Baupost Group Management, #Oaktree Capital Management, #Tudor Investment, #Dalal Street, Third Point, #Steinberg Asset Management, #Berkshire Hathaway $BRK, Cantor Fitzgerald LP (Howard #Lutnick, U.S. Secretary of Commerce), Fundsmith, #Bridgewater Associates, Bill #Gates Foundation Trust, #RR Advisors, #Pershing Square Capital, #Elliott Investment Management, #TCI Fund Management, #Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words mean nothing.

LLM DUJOUR Asked ChatGPT (as well as Grok & Claude) to identify books on some shelves to build a catalogue. It basically missed 2/3 of the books and INVENTED titles using the autocomplete function, a la Amazon algorithm "those who bought this also bought these". Hilarious.
