Interesting read. Mr. Taleb has some innovative ideas and an odd mix of sensibilities, ideas, & opinions. He is extremely harsh and critical of many academic institutions as well as many branches of science and economics. I found myself agreeing with him about how and why they are so broken about 60% of the time. I think he is overly critical of medical science but justifiably critical of big pharma and medical doctors. The book is highly entertaining but somewhat dense and abrupt. 5/5 stars. I am going to read his other books now.
