Nassim Taleb's Black Swan is an epistemological masterpiece, explaining how unexpected events can be an iron bar in a house of cards everyone previously regarded as Fort Knox.
Nassim fisks Gregg Easterbrook of the NYT mercilessly in the link above, displaying Easterbrook's evident dishonesty and ignorance and perhaps a hidden agenda. Check the link for many instances of a book reviewer evidently not reading the book. Or getting his editorial slant from a libtard managing editor.
Since Slate was the only other publication to publish a flagrantly unintelligent and dishonest review, it appears the libtards have something against Mr. Taleb.
"Much have I seen and known; cities of men And manners, climates, councils, governments, ...the fortune of us that are the moon's men doth ebb and flow like the sea, being govern'd, as the sea is, by the moon" [Henry IV, I.ii.31-33] HISTORY NEVER REPEATS ITSELF, BUT IT OFTEN RHYMES "There is a Providence that protects idiots, drunkards, children and the United States of America." Otto von Bismarck
