the person you are talking to is taleb himself. he pops up all over the internet when he is criticized and gives these very... terse responses.

says... another account created just to comment on this issue.

I put my foot in my mouth all the time, but I put my name to it. Taleb is interesting. Are you saying that the other account is literally Taleb, and that he's known for astroturfing campaigns? I wouldn't discard such a proposition, but I'd prefer hearing it from someone non-anonymous.

(For all I know, you're just an account created to extend the thread.)
