Taleb said Trump is not as “scary” as people make him out to be.
“rump is a real estate salesman. When you elect real estate salespeople to the presidency, they’re going to try deliver.”
If Americans hand Trump the Oval Office, Taleb said, the reality TV star would probably tone down his bluster.
The author of "The Black Swan" says it doesn't matter as much as people think who wins the election.
There is a certain category of fool-the overeducated,the academic,the journalist,the newspaper reader, the mechanistic scientist,the pseudo-empiricist, those endowed with what I call epistemic arrogance,this wonderful ability to discount what they did not see,the unobserved.
— Nassim Nicholas Taleb
