|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11/11/25 |  Sornette vs. Taleb Diametrically Opposite Approaches to Risk & Predictability (2014) | An ETH sponsored meeting and debate between Nassim Taleb and Didier Sornette. Edited to eliminate the parts of the conversation not involving either but otherwise comprehensive.A "diplomatic debate" is defined by Taleb as a conversation in which one looks for synthesis (as opposed to one in which one is trying, as in war, to win the argument, as with political debates). Clearly this type of debate only works when the two parties have mutual respect for each other.Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuvbghZuM8U | — | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Nassim Nicholas Taleb Lebanon: From Ponzi to Localism (2019) | A presentation at USJ during the Lebanese protests that was live on TV.In the Lebanese "dialect".Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53uW9Xd_JRU | — | ||||||
| 11/11/25 | Tail risk of contagious diseases: a conversation with coauthor Pasquale Cirillo (2020) | Paper in Nature Physics on "the dog wags the tails", how pandemics are fat tailed and the implications.https://www.nature.com/articles/s4156...We also discuss the dangers of verbalistic users of statistical buzzwords without understanding probability s.a. BS vendor Philip Tetlock. They produce one point estimates for distributions with unstable, unknown or infinite moments, which is pseudoscience.We propose basic probability training. “Learn probability for years before learning statistics, or you will hurt yourself”.Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggrW6qi0qZQ | — | ||||||

| 11/11/25 | Nassim Taleb and Scott Patterson Discuss "Chaos Kings", Part 3 (2024) | Why Ilmanen-style "simulations" of tail performance are both theoretically and empirically flawed because of 1) need to extrapolate extremes, and 2) The Niederhoffer problem.The birth of the Non-Naive Precautionary Principle in East Anglia, in a pub discussion with Rupert Read.Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWLcxTMwk8 | — | ||||||

| 11/11/25 | Universa's Bernoulli for Portfolio Simulation: Correcting the Empirical Distribution (2024) | The empirical distribution is not empirical, full of Turkey problems. "Real tails" do not show in past samples because of their property under fat tails. Empirical distributions are, by design, interpolating; we fix by extrapolating and extending the tails.Note the dispute: In French, Bernoulli is pronounced "Ber-noo-yi" not "Ber-noo-li", much like consigliere is pronounced "consiyyere".Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMvQeH9oo2w | — | ||||||
