It was a sheer pleasure listening to Taleb last night at Stevens Institute, Hoboken, NJ. Lecture was a condensed version of his Antifragility (which probably would be the title of his upcoming book) talk with Russ Roberts last week (full audio and text here). Taleb was very simple and charismatic in person but as usual his limited patience for BS made the Q&A session more hilarious. Observing him at close quarters, it was very clear he would like to be remembered as a philosopher rather than an intellectual or an economist (duh!!)
Of-course I got a copy of The Black Swan signed by him!!
