Interesting philology, "Answer him" (תענה) in Hebrew sounds exactly like "Stab him" (طعن) in Arabic. — PolitiTweet.org

Mini-Symposium [thread] Friends, I have to write a foreword for @holland_tom's Dominion, as punishment for listening to @TheRestHistory at the (profane) gym. 1- Is Xrstnty the 1st "religion" to establish the separation holy-profane? 2- Is it the 1rst to eliminate hierarchies? — PolitiTweet.org

@digvijoy_c @holland_tom @TheRestHistory You must sit down and concentrate. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy July 4th, the birth of the freest & most transparent country in history, perceived to be imperfect because of its very transparency. — PolitiTweet.org

@Stefano_Peron Switching regime works if and only if you can predict transitions. — PolitiTweet.org

3) NOTE: Nobody is using the "correlation regimes" argument anymore: the switching between regimes is even more random & the net result ends up the same on ellipticality. — PolitiTweet.org

2) The server may be slow, so this is the gist. Basically those who talk about correlation stocks-bonds (while smoking you with details) have the reasoning abilities & clarity of mind of overactive circus monkeys accidentally given steroids. https://t.co/lWWu20vQeJ — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

There is no such thing as "correlation" between stocks and bonds. And it does not take much math to show it. https://t.co/bp7Hk74anH — PolitiTweet.org

The hindsight bias is a real (un)intelligence test, particularly when it comes to Covid & weird investments. Most pple see history in the rear view mirror. [Text below is from Fooled by Randomness. A deeper discussion is in The Black Swan] — PolitiTweet.org

2) Rephrasing the problem. The dx is confusing: it is a LINE integral. Math helps: I spent >9 HOURS in Paris CDG yesterday. https://t.co/tbyo1R5mpt — PolitiTweet.org

@tony_dolezal Deleted tweet to not mislead. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

@tony_dolezal I tried to eliminate y so the integral becomes a function of R. Nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

1) You see infinity where x->a, y->b so I have no idea how transformation would work. Note the original problem mistakenly used a circle rather than a disk. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

Very very hard. There must be a typo [dx dy not just dx] [My Delta flight out of CDG had ~ 6 hours delay] https://t.co/gTxYMghm1y — PolitiTweet.org

@omar_ghxd @digvijoy_c In this sample, shorter. And in general, because of Northern Italians. — PolitiTweet.org

The disease of the 20th C. is utopianism, that of the 21st is hypernaive utopianism: Libertarianism, Wokism, Cryptoism, Techno-salvationism etc. are identical in spirit to Communism. #Antifragile, a Burkian antiutopian manifesto is used by bitdiots to justify crypto-utopianism. — PolitiTweet.org

@Gregoresate The definition "Semitic" is ambiguous outside linguistic matters. So one can as well define "Semitic" as a branch of Anatolians who at some point exported a language. — PolitiTweet.org

Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb

@Gregoresate The population was Anatolian then. N. Levant has never been never "Semitic" by population, only by language. To wit, predominance of J2 and G. — PolitiTweet.org

@jedmartin2010 Actually, someone at dinner made the comment. Given that they are Northern Italian, we found the marker to be... height! — PolitiTweet.org

Italian & Lebanese archeologists gathering in Amioun to celebrate the discovery of 4-6K y. old settlements under the village, & potential for earlier neolithic/charcolithic structures. The Italians from the U. of Udine spend a month in Amioun every summer. https://t.co/FQcM0PCUBE — PolitiTweet.org

1) No rumor is true until officially denied; 2) No currency is to devalue until the central banker announces that there will be no devaluation; and 3) A stablecrypto is stable until the manager is compelled to tell the world that it is stable & "rule out" its collapse. — PolitiTweet.org
