I think ZG might have confused Taleb with Alex Jones?

(Taleb is the arrogant loud-mouth[1] who made his money in the financial markets, Alex Jones is similar in aspect but made his money by building an audience of right-wing conspiracy theorists and then selling them herbal supplements.)

[1] Not an insult. I suspect he’d embrace this description whole-heartedly.

No, the reference is to Paul Joseph Watson, the Infowars editor who started this thing.

Cut from the same cloth then: that guy is so intertwined with Alex Jones they may as well be two faces of the same operation.
