HatTip to Dave Lull.

To be fair, Taleb challenges us to think for ourselves, a
job too many shirk. He’s as severe with the high and mighty as
he is with the plebs.

At one point, for example, he voices concern about “the
growing separation of the ethical and the legal.” A footnote
reads: “Former U.S. Treasury secretary ‘bankster’ Robert Rubin,
perhaps the biggest thief in history, broke no law.”

As for Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke, he inspired this
line: “How superb to become wise without being boring; how sad
to be boring without being wise.”
