Labour attacked Cameron, who says Taleb&#8217;s work confirms his own prejudices, because the &#8220;eccentric&#8221; academic says economic crashes are a good thing. In some of his most provocative remarks at his appearance with Cameron, the Lebanese-American academic criticised Obama for increasing his taxes as he harked back to Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution. &#8220;I happen to do OK. I am paying more taxes,&#8221; Taleb said. &#8220;How can you have evolution if those who do the right thing have to finance those who did the wrong thing? If you are making money in 2009 \u2013 that means you have a robust business in the cycle \u2013 you are paying more taxes. If you are losing money in 2009 you get a bigger tax break. It is the opposite of everything I believe in.&#8221; Taleb has become a conservative folk hero following the success of his book, which examines the phenomena of &#8220;Black Swans&#8221; or &#8220;low-probability, high-impact events&#8221; that can have a major impact on the world. via David Cameron&#8217;s guru Nassim Nicholas Taleb says rich should not pay more tax to help the poor | Politics | The Guardian.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shared by  JohnH <\/p>\n<p>Audio only highlights of previously mentioned Conversation with David Cameron.
