Nassim Nicholas Taleb (Person)
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
1960 AD - 2018 AD
Lebanese-American essayist, mathematical statistician, former option trader, risk analyst, and aphorist whose work concerns problems of randomness, probability, and uncertainty.
Taleb criticized the risk management methods used by the finance industry and warned about financial crises, subsequently profiting from the late-2000s financial crisis.
He advocates what he calls a "black swan robust" society, meaning a society that can withstand difficult-to-predict events.
Taleb refuses all honors and anything that "turns knowledge into a spectator sport".
