Watch Nassim Taleb debate Twitter’s greatest tech jargon parody account.

What the world needs now is a Twitter fight among Nassim Taleb (the pretentious author of The Black Swan), Prof Jeff Jarvis (the parody of new media evangelists staged by Rurik Bradbury), and the real Jeff Jarvis (the Web guru who proves how far you can get with lots of jargon and few results).

What if academics followed the new model of @nfergus and @nntaleb and got paid based on #controversy and #engagement?

@ProfJeffJarvis @nntaleb Re. Taleb – either you fail to appreciate the high-stakes epistemic issues or you don’t care. Polemics justified.

@lynnlayman @ProfJeffJarvis Thanks Lynn, “prof” Jarvis commits 3 fallacies, implies shouting truth => seeking controversy, not byproduct.
