Nassim Nicholas Taleb hosted me in his library for a casual conversation over Turkish coffee. We discuss reading actual books, olive farming, scale transformation, cities versus villages, finding truth, entrepreneurship and capitalism in Europe versus the United States versus China, lobbyists, fairness, techno-feudalism, reversing the law of large numbers, AI’s threat to performative workers and it’s lack of threat to creativity, ZIRP, physics versus economics, immigration and economic growth, tariffs, supply chains, energy dependency, solar, and oil.
Every conversation I’ve ever had with Nassim opens one door after another after another, and this one was no different.
