Having Nassim Taleb in Armenia is really outstanding. He is really a very disruptive thinker, a genuine person with a real skin in the game. Chapeau Monsieur Taleb.
Thank you Eric for this insightful interview with Dr. Nassim Nicholas Taleb.
My summary of SIX RAP TOPICS between Nassim Taleb and Eric Hacopian:
1. antifragile national resilience, comparing nearby "stable" dynastic, authoritarian states to antifragile Armenia; antifragile is a Taleb concept meaning that things that get pressured or bashed a lot are less fragile,
2. why Large Language Models can be useless if caught (as they often are) in self-feeding information loops reguritating what is popularly appearing on the web,
3. why the West has significant identity wars,
4. lifestyle advantages of Lebanon and Armenia compared to the West,
5. following on from 4, the societal mental health benefits of people being embedded in a community, and
6. the split in the West between the elites and the masses on a range of topics, and between the young (under 30) and older (over 60) demographic, for example in their respective views on that lobby and its celebration of slaughter in Gaza.
Wow, i had read the Black Swan so many years ago and have great respect for Mr. Taleb. To see him interviewed by our Mr. Hacopian says volumes about the great job the folks at Covilnet are doing.

I like the chess set, on the table behind Nassim. Great to see it there!
I'm not sure how one can have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Taleb
and only spend 20 min. with him!
Excellent interview! Thank you! The day is very close when Greece and Armenia will take back their lands! Patience, preparation, and faith!
Stop that war mongering
Holy cow!
nassim is right about online friends
👍👍👍
12:06 Yes Nassim we are real, even the blocked ones.
Very nice to hear from a great mind, less so his Armenia comments. 😜
❤❤❤❤❤1000000000000000
Id like to know if NN has opinion on USA illegal drug situation..
15:30 what does NNT think of israel vs palestine/hamas?
Did he just say Learn Language Models?
Need to go through various 'Mental Models' to understand various bias.
Map is not territory.
i do think that Armenians in Armenia do have somewhat of a cultural/identity crisis. one with the attachment and disassociation with Russia and Russian culture. many people, even younger people, think, act and see themselves as more Russian than Armenian, unfortunately. hopefully this will change.
@12:20 Live local, earn global. The gateway to antifragility...
That guy is a marks
Taleb genius but so hard to listen him
Нет террористическому азергейджану
Kissinger is textbook...😂...
I thank my country is the greatest country in the world is USA i love my country for all of the many people have around world you or not going meet the same person twice that make my country the Greatest in the world
The notion of " unequivocal US support for Israel" is beyond naive. Nassim makes a beginner mistake by confusing the US administration retoric with the overall real politic strategy toward Israel. The latter has little to do with a genuine support
15:30 what does NNT think of israel vs palestine/hamas?
The east of the world can't teach me anything on how i want to live my life
The end of Nassims diatribe was just awful 😂.
Dude has no idea of regional power dynamics. No Skin In The Game
