Do you think his central thesises around Black Swan events, tail risks, hedging, and skin-in-the-game principle for evaluating advice/statements, are not relevant to scopes beyond options trading?

I'd take him about as seriously as I take Wikipedia. Sometimes useful. Follow links to sources, evaluate those.
