Nassim Nicholas Taleb angry with economists. The interviewer was just a journalist clueless about his ideas but he got them across anyway by ignoring her questions.

look at 4:48- Teleb's like, "women, you're talking out of your ass! go home and cook or something.."

He was angry in 2008, wouldn't you be if you can see the problem, explain it clearly, and have this ridiculous anchor ask the same stupid question over and over again? As it turns out, it WAS only the beginning....

Taleb's theories are very solid, bu tthe one thing he is TOTLLY wrong on is his assertion that economists and bankers are doing what they do based on denial of reality and blindness to risk.

If he would just accept the fact that their destruction of the world economic system is INTENTIONAL, and is a well-documented plan, having been implemented systematically over the last century, and include "intentional destructive manipulation" into his theories, his argument would be nearly bullet-proof.

He spent three books trying to explain that you can't measure risk, VaR included.
