Taleb dunking on IQ “research” at length. Technically a seriouspost I guess.

    Side note, I know Taleb is widely appreciated, but man this is some badly written stuff. Is all his stuff like this? I realize blog post != book, but c’mon, some pride in craftmanship is in order.

      Yeah, he needs an editor. But the relentless dunking on IQiots is worth the verbiage imo.

        High-end stats is kind of Taleb’s thing, so he gets to be as insufferable as he likes dunking on IQiots imo.
