Nassim Nicholas Taleb laying into economists

Postby slow_dazzle » Sat Nov 15, 2008 12:09 pm

Taleb is the author of a book titled "The Black Swan" which is about randomness and the problems of predicting financial events. This clip is off a recent BBC interview in which he sticks the boot into irrelevant economists and talking heads. Worth watching just to hear someone saying what needs to be said.

The video's a quickie from Santiago Alvarez in 1965. But the curtain-raiser's from Casablanca, of course.

    Mrs. Leuchtag: To celebrate our leaving for America tomorrow.
    Carl: Oh, thank you very much. I thought you would ask me, so I brought the good brandy. And - a third glass!
    Mrs. Leuchtag: At last the day is came!
    Mr. Leuchtag: Mareichtag and I are speaking nothing but English now.
    Mrs. Leuchtag: So we should feel at home when we get to America.
    Carl: Very nice idea, mm-hmm.
    Mr. Leuchtag: [toasting] To America!
    Mrs. Leuchtag: To America!
    Carl: To America!

All day, hiding from the sun. waiting for the Golden One

If this has previously been posted please remove. It is almost the anniversary of that horrible day America changed forever. I am a very over-emotional person but to have gone from JFK to 43 makes me cry sometimes. I will go to my grave knowing that that slimy fucker LBJ knew every detail or almost every detail of events that day beforehand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USibCNkgYxs
