 | Nassim Nicholas Taleb
An essayist, belletrist, and researcher only interesting in one single topic, chance (particularly extreme and rare events, the Black Swans) but it falls at the intersection of philosophy/epistemology (skepticism; knowledge about the dynamics of history; inferential claims), philosophy/ethics (stoicism facing random events; theories of nonhedonic happiness), mathematical sciences (probability theory, statistical physics), social science/finance (opacity & decision making under incomplete information), and cognitive science (the mental biases making us fooled by randomness). He mainly derives his intuitions from a 2-decade long and intense practice of derivatives trading (nondull activities with plenty of randomness). |
