That moment when you get back on Twitter and see @nntaleb has unblocked you but also has not changed his intellectual hygiene over the past half-decade.
Here are his tweets. LOL at bragging that six months after Ebola he had the unique foresight to warn about a global pandemic. Glad we agree about @MilenaRodban though!
I do wish Nassim read a little more. He might like the chapters in here on the for-profit part of the ideas industry. And he’s an outstanding thought leader in every sense of that term’s meaning. amazon.com/Ideas-Industry…
I’ll close by noting that however @nntaleb behaves toward me on this hellsite, I value some of his written work and even assign it in my classes. He’s an exemplar of the notion that one should separate the intellectual work from the online idiot persona. medium.com/@dandrezner/my…

No no no this can’t be right I was assured by so many hawks that if the United States exited the JCPOA and imposed crippling sanctions on Iran then everything would work itself out.

It’s quite something that the collective assessment in @wrightr’s story is that Iran has not only progressed in its nuclear program but in the other areas (ballistic missiles, links to regional proxies) sanctions reimposition was supposed to thwart. newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…

Former President Donald Trump is 100% correct.
The best part of this is imagining the 30-minute explanation someone will need to provide Trump about what he said.
For this to have happened minions like @realLizUSA either didn’t understand what Trump was saying or understood it but were too scared to staff him properly.

BREAKING: I just boarded my first flight in 20 months. Everyone was polite and kind toward each other, and there were no disruptive passengers.
UPDATE: There was a slight delay as they added more fuel before takeoff. This triggered exactly zero examples of air rage.
HOUR TWO: drinks and snacks were served. #thehorrorthehorror

Good morning!

Hi Evan. It's adorable that you think this perpetuates patriarchal norms. Let me explain in detail why I do this, and why I'm not going to stop doing it: (1/4)
I used to be fine with students using my first name. And then I started talking with female colleagues who found that their students were far more likely to use their first name in interactions, diminishing their authority. (2/4)
Furthermore, they also told me that male profs who act super-casual about this are part of the problem, since students then think, "Why can't I call her Mary is I can call that prof Dan?" So maybe, Evan, you're actually part of the problem? (3/4)
