Falkenstein has an obsessive disorder with N. he wrote more than 100 posts trying to delegitimize him. He can't have any credibility and much of whats there is not credible think that Nassim is a full professor, distinguished professor even, with so many publications when falkinstein is the exact image of a crank.

He's hinted in various podcasts that the next book will be about belief. I can't remember where but he sites as very important, Daniel Gilbert's paper 'How Mental Systems Believe'. In case you're curious, the best link to that paper I could find is at: http://www.neuroethics.ox.ac.uk/node/470 I’ve heard NNT make this argument before – Better religion than something else.

If that's the tone of the debate I've already heard it. Does it get better later on? If I knew there was a good Chris Hitchens zinger or two to look forward to, I might risk it.
