 Like the first thing that got me excited about this book was The dedication that Nasim has done for the book, right? And this is the dedication and this is the notes that I took. It's not sort of copied down Because I didn't want to track down the Twitter info that Nasim had given regarding this dedication, right? But basically the dedication is this He's dedicated the book to two men of courage. The first one is Ron Paul And he calls them a Roman among Greeks. Okay, and I had to look that up and I'm gonna explain to you what Roman among Greeks says. Okay And the other person that is dedicated this to is Ralph Nader And He referenced he he calls him Greco-Finnishian saint, right? And I I don't know what Gekko And I don't know what Gekko Finishian is. I tried looking it up and I couldn't make heads or tails out of it So I'm gonna look this up more later. Okay, but for those of you who don't know who Ralph Nader is Ralph Nader basically is a person that really Instigated consumer protection, right? Took corporations governments to court help bring about legislation that has prevented I don't know how many millions tens of millions of death injuries and has held You know has changed the law to hold corporations accountable for their crimes or for their transgressions And this was basically brought one the United States and the model has been has Rolled out in many other countries as well, right? Okay, here's what Nassim has to say regarding Ralph Nader. Okay, and I'm gonna read Just a paragraph up here and then I'm gonna read the footnote, right? And He's referring to common law and he was getting into common law and stuff like this and just to let you know the first 50 pages of this 47 pages of this are basically introduction to this book skin in the game And they basically sort of recap some of the information main information from the previous four books Okay, but here's what he has to say Oh cool, Adolf. I'm pretty sure Grecovillian means from both Greece and finicia finicia finicia. What the look up Greco is that what it means? So Greco finicia Oops, what did you say? Saint right and saint Uh, you can get more regarding saint. I know I shall show you a table after we read this little paragraph Thank you very much. Adolf. Uh, I gotta look at what I was like. I'm gonna look this up While we're at it That way I'm filling up my own gaps at the same time finicia was a fellow Crassus ancient Semitic civilization that originated in eastern Mediterranean. Oh, that's because Ralph Nader. I believe he's Lebanese Nader, let me see what uh Ralph Nader, let's see what his origin is. Thank you very much for that, Adolf. I think this is Born Connecticut? Is he or Nasim is Lebanese? No, so is uh, here we go. Here's Ralph Nader Ralph Nader was born in Winstead, Connecticut To Nathra and Rosa Nader, both of whom were immigrants from Lebanon. Okay, so that could be the Greco Finish him. So the Semitic race from that area. So let me read you this. Okay If a big core, I want to read the the two paragraphs leading up to the Nader's footnote, right? If a big corporation polluters If a big corporation pollutes your neighborhood You can get together with your neighbor and sue the hell out of it Some greedy lawyer will have the proper paperwork ready The enemies of the corporations will be glad to help And the potential costs of settlement would be enough of a deterrent for the corporation to behave, right? And this is sort of common law. I believe it's tort law or whatever it is. The common law were punitive damages and stuff like that Right, this doesn't mean one should never regulate at all. Okay, some Semitic Systemic Effects may require a regulation say hidden tail risks of environmental ruin that show up too late If you can't effectively sue Regulate right and the scene is Not pro-regulation at all, right? Ralph Nader prefers more regulation than nothing and at the end of that sentence, right? If you can't effectively sue regulate and he's got a little asterisk on there is Taking us to a footnote, right? So I'm going to read the footnote to you The Ralph Nader to whom I dedicate this book is the Ralph Nader who helped establish The legal mechanism to protect consumers and citizens from Predator predators less so the Ralph Nader who occasionally makes some Calls to regulate right So that's the dedication to Ralph Nader. Oh, yeah, and when he refers to him. So now thanks to Adolf's Mentioning what it means Greco Greco Greco finishing and saint, okay? So Greg Greco meaning Greg finishing meaning people of that region. So Ralph Nader's from Lebanon Lebanese Greek Lebanese background sort of a Greek fathers wallow expand on that and the same part Will connect up to this which is on page by the way If you have this book that the footnote I was reading was on page 32, right? And now I'm going to go to The appendix on page 47 and that's It's a table that he has okay this table that he has here and basically Is cemeteries in life and things and he's got three columns here is cemeteries in society Where we left off in antifragile and antifragile was a previous book that he wrote, right? So basically he's broken this up into Three columns, right? This column here the left most column is people that don't have skin in the game So he titles it no skin in the game The center column is skin in the game and that right most column is skin in the game Of others or soul in the game, right? So this book Is mainly about skin in the game, but he also talks about soul in the game when you put everything on the line Right and his definition of this is this no skin in the game. I'm going to give you some examples, right? Uh, no skin in the game keeps upside transfers Downside to others owns a hidden option at someone else's expense So just to let you know who are some of the people he lists as having no skin in the game That means they're not accountable to anything They risk everything without paying the consequences and we'll get into that A little bit, okay, but since we're talking about Ralph Nader I want to show you where Ralph Nader belongs on a scale system that he's established right now where he calls him a Saint, right? So people, corporations or entities with no skin in the game Uh, bureaucrats policy, policy wonks, right? Consultants, uh, sufiates Large corporations with access to the state Corporate executives with suits Scientists who play the system, theologians and centralized governments Uh, journalists who analyze and predict Politicians bankers, so and these are some examples of people who don't have skin in the game, right? Here are people who have skin in the game Uh, citizens merchants businessman artists entrepreneurs laboratory and field experimenters Uh, government of city-states. So when you go federal government centralized government huge No skin in the game local communities It's come, you know, if you want to call them governments, but they're more on a local level They're more sort of people getting together deciding to govern themselves, right? So sent localized governments Writers speculators have skin in the game, right? Uh, activists hedge fund traders. He says they have skin in the game And skin in the game of others or souls in the game, okay? And the first thing he mentions is saints knights warriors soldiers, right? And these are people who have Soul in the game they have the skin of other people in the game, right? Or skin in the game for others of others, right? So that's where he fits Ralph Nader And you know, he has a few people he's listed here, you know profits Mavericks Minis municipal governments Real writers real journalists, right? Who take risk to expose themselves to get to the truth and whatnot Okay entrepreneurs dissidents revolutionaries Okay Highest even only war and death So and one thing he mentions here, right? Regarding people with no skin in the game and regarding people With skin in the game, right? people with Skin in the game he left blank because that really depends on What it is they consider to be skin in the game People with no skin in the game. This is what he's written in the last Rule, right? As their reward Seeks seeks awards prizes honors Ceremonies medals tea with the queen of England Membership and academia handshake with Obama, right? These are people who have no skin in the game The people who have skin in the game of others or soul in the game One of them being Ralph Nader that mentions as being a saint. Okay, the highest reward, right? The highest even only award is death for one's ideas or positions Socrates, Jesus, St Catherine Hypatia, Joan of Arc and He called Ralph Nader saint and Ralph Nader would belong in that column I know you haven't even gone past the dedication page
