mircea_popescu: like suppose i send cia's shadow ops director a buquet of n roses on the day he forgot to send his wife the n number as he should have.
mircea_popescu: if guy has any sense he dismantles the entire thing that same day. they've failed.
bitcoinpete: so if you send taleb the dead sea scrolls to his house with a hand-written card asking him to hit dat webchat
mircea_popescu: bitcoinpete i'd burn them and send him a youtube of that.
bitcoinpete: not sure the guy watches that much youtube
ThickAsThieves: just send him a large box marked ANTFRAGILE - HANDLE WITHOUT CARE
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, years ago i used to say that one of my goals once i'm rich is to make pilaf

bitcoinpete: ok so 50+ people fuck and i'm sure taleb isn't immune to babes
bitcoinpete: but you gotta treat the guy more like a foreign dignitary/president/royal that a blogger
bitcoinpete: "While it may seem foreign now, at the time, the concept of the person as an individual flew in the face of tradition. Questioning this perspective sowed the seeds of a new worldview where tradition and social hierarchy were displaced in favor of individual pursuits."
bitcoinpete: "For sixteenth- and seventeenth-century nobles, everything rested on traditional order and familial continuity."
assbot: Bitcoin Startup Xapo Valued North of $100 Million - Digits - WSJ
bitcoinpete: "Nobles explored alternatives to patriarchal ideology not because it was weakening in the seventeenth century but because its hold over them was so very strong. … Seventeenth-century aristocratic culture … placed contradictory demands on its participants, between, for instance, ideals of inheritance and of individual ambition. By the early eighteenth century, the weight of these contradictions had for many nobles become
bitcoinpete: intolerable. The more egalitarian ideologies of the eighteenth century, it may be suggested, offered resolution of contradictions that had become burdensome beyond endurance. From this vantage point, Louis XIV’s rise to power seems less a turning point than does his death."
