		<description><![CDATA[A bunch of people have sent me this, and it&#8217;s definitely worth reading &#8211; Jeremy Grantham talks about the state of the world (and American) economy in the 4th GMO quarterly of 2008.
Reading it brought to mind some points that I have been thinking about for a while now &#8211; and this is as good [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More Taleb, yes.  An excellent essay in the Edge Foundation&#8217;s Third Culture by Taleb on statistics, and how it is often misused.
And here is an interesting analogy from the essay, comparing a Thanksgiving turkey fed consistently until its unfortunate end, and IndyMac&#8217;s performance.


Oh my.

		<description><![CDATA[While the rest of the market plummets, investors of Universa Investments LP (where Taleb is an advisor) have gained 50% or more this year.
That told you so sort of gets painful, especially when the man is right.

		<description><![CDATA[An interview from August in the Portfolio magazine with Taleb which talks about how he predicted this crisis ages ago:
N.N.T.: Yeah, I only do things where there&#8217;s a natural stimulation. I had no natural stimulation to sit in a meeting, so I would not sit in a meeting, and that has worked for me. I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Times (UK) has an article on Nassim Taleb, and while it talks about his work, the more interesting bits have nothing to do with Taleb&#8217;s work.
What I find particularly interesting (and in some ways, rather profound) is Taleb&#8217;s philosophy on life, which he sums up at the very end.
Taleb&#8217;s top life tips

Scepticism is effortful [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, I was hanging out with some of Beck&#8217;s friends (who, ironically enough, are detectives at the Cincinnati PD) and I absent-mindedly forgot my copy of Fooled by Randomness at the local Starbucks.
I went looking for it and asked the people at Starbucks if they&#8217;d seen it around. Sean, the ever-insightful barista, returned the book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is it me or does it seem like there is something to be said about Taleb&#8217;s rants against the traditional practices of Wall Street traders and progressive betting in Blackjack?
The fact that progressions cannot overcome expectation is also rather interesting, given the way some institutions work.
