Did Pinker do another "empirical" analysis to figure out if those who believe in the afterlife have a statitically significant shorter life expectancy? No. You never never miss with Pinker. Wherever he ventures, he manages to produce BS. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ I am not used to psychiatricize people; first time I do it as Asness (henceforth "The Lunatic of AQR") stupidly went into such claims. — PolitiTweet.org

5/n Mandelbrot has a monstrous scientific erudition & a yuuge curiosity. He knew arcane math stuff only autodidacts know. But he respected erudition much more than scientific rank, based on his fascinations with polyglot characters like Jean de Menasce. https://t.co/37wUxhmQpy https://t.co/vLSvtwErMa — PolitiTweet.org

@nntaleb As you knew him very closely, was Mandelbrot a highly cultivated (not just in maths) man?
