Nassim Taleb: Gurometer
🕑 Added 2021-02-09 07:31:50 +0000 UTCHere's a postscript to the Taleb episode with our Gurometer scores.
Unfortunately, the new video software we used screwed up on Chris' end so while all the audio is there and you can see Matt and his lovely shirt all you get is the green block for Chris! Then YouTube refused to finish processing the video because it is 'too long'. But the video is shorter than usual, only 30 mins this time!
So... technology win!
As an alternative, we have the audio! So that's what is available above!

Great episode! Another guru I absolutely believe you should cover is Naval Ravikant. He is a tech investor, very Taleb-adjacent in a way, advocating for libertarian decentralization and cryptocurrencies, while at the same time dishing out start-a-business-and-meditate style self-help. He is representative of a certain flavor of guru, that is particularly irritating in my humble opinion, the "Sillicon Valley thought leader". Speaking of which, what would be the best channel through which to make guru suggestions for the show?

We don’t have that yet BUT I am 75% of the way through working out how to set it up! (Chris)

On the episode, I don't know if Matt had seen this but taleb has actually released what seems to be a maths book "Statistical consequences of Fat Tails". I've not read it yet but might be a sign of putting his money where his mouth is.

Do y'all have an RSS link for patron-only audio so it can be used to download as a regular podcast episode? (No, I don't really know how that works. I just know that when I've sponsored podcasts on Patreon before I've gotten an email with a URL to use for the patron-only podcast feed)
