Nassim Taleb sat down with Daniel Kahneman - two of the sharpest minds on risk ever - and the takeaway was blunt: stop trying to be smart Kahneman's prospect theory explains why almost nobody can do what Taleb does We're wired to hate the steady trickle of small losses...

Nassim Taleb told a room full of fund managers: not one of you will ever get the returns of the market Two decades a trader before he touched theory - and his whole point is that survival, not return, is the game almost everyone misprices. "Take all the risk you can - but make sure you're in tomorrow" "You don't cross a river that's three feet deep on average" "Once you hit ruin, the casino's edge doesn't matter - you're gone" bookmark and watch it today - 39 minutes on ruin, paranoia, and why surviving beats being right ↓

before Nassim Taleb made his fortune shorting the 2008 collapse, an old veteran on the trading floor gave him a terrifying warning "he grabbed me, pointed to a guy across the room and said: 'you see ed over there? he made $7 million in 7 years... and he just lost it all in exactly 7 seconds'" that was the exact moment Taleb realized that 99% of wall street was playing a rigged game of russian roulette "average funds hide their risk to look smart - they make small, steady profits every single day, completely blind to the fact that one rare event will eventually wipe out their entire existence" "we do the exact opposite - we take tiny, calculated losses every day, and position our entire portfolio to make billions the second the system completely breaks" Taleb didn't build his empire by trying to predict the market. he built it by assuming everyone else is fragile, and waiting for the inevitable hurricane to destroy them watch his legendary stanford masterclass where he breaks down this exact realization

Nassim Taleb ran a simple test: take two completely random, unrelated columns of numbers - noise, nothing else - and measure their correlation. with a small sample, you'll routinely see correlations of 0.4, 0.6, even higher. from pure randomness. now the trap. give a researcher many variables and few data points - say 38 variables, 18 points each, which he says is far more common than you'd think - and let them hunt for the highest correlation. they'll always find a "strong" one. it means nothing. it's just the max of a pile of noise. "when you hear the word correlation, be suspicious." by his estimate, about half of published research is nonsense for exactly this reason. ~14-min talk, free. Taleb on the number that fools almost everyone ↓

Elon Musk just told you why caution kills more companies than risk ever has. Musk: “One of the approaches we did take was to proceed at risk with temporary permits.” Hundreds of millions in concrete before the final signature exists. Knowing the full downside. Musk: “Your long-term permit could be denied, in which case you have to stop everything.” Tear it all down. Back to dirt. Every board on Earth calls that unacceptable. Musk calls it cheaper than the alternative. Musk: “Most companies are not willing to take the risk of the temporary permit, and then the risk of having to stop and tear down.” They think they are avoiding risk. They are selecting one. Waiting is not neutral. Waiting is a position. A bet that the market holds, the team stays, and momentum outlasts a system designed to outlast you. It never does. No one says no. The calendar says it for them. Not rejection. Erosion. Musk saw it for what it was. He chose the risk you can see over the risk you cannot. Gigafactories rose in months while the rest of the industry waited on the meeting about the permit. The gap was never resources. It was the willingness to see that waiting is not free. It is the most expensive decision in business. Because it is the only one nobody knows they are making.

If you're young, your savings are the smallest piece of your real net worth: Victor Haghani explains: "A young person might have $200k saved — and $5 million of human capital." "Their future earnings dwarf the portfolio. The savings are a tiny slice of total wealth." "So they could take 50% risk on that $200k and it's still small against $5.2M." "That's exactly why 'take more risk when you're young' is true." "But it has to be systematic risk — and there's a real limit on how far you can lever it." "Because the cost of leverage is just ridiculously high."

Arteta: “To be fair, it's a bit different when you finish second and when you win it with your phone, and that's a sport and it's a big lesson in life as well because the margins are so small and it can go either way. “When you just accomplish it, you realise, yeah, how immense it is, how big it is for so many people. I mean, just to witness the happiness and the enjoyment, all the things that I've seen from all of our supporters, families in different countries, it's just so good.”

Nassim Taleb asked a room full of quants: to trust an average, a normal bell curve needs ~30 data points. how many does an 80/20 "fat-tailed" world need? people guessed 200. 1,000. the real answer: 100 trillion. that's 10¹⁴ - because in fat-tailed data, one rare event dwarfs everything else, and until it shows up your sample is a lie. "you observe, you observe, you observe… until the crash." worse, the deception only runs one way. a wild distribution can disguise itself as calm - a calm one can't fake being wild. so the data almost always fools you downward, into thinking there's less risk than there is. the fix: stop estimating the average from the average. it doesn't work where it matters. ~25-min talk, free. Taleb on why your data is quietly lying about risk ↓

The single greatest predictor of your physical health at 80… is the quality of your relationships at 50. Not your supplements. Not your net worth. Not your VO₂ max. Isolation is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality. That should change how you measure success. I sat down with Sahil Bloom to unpack the five types of wealth that actually matter, and why small, daily investments in the right direction compound more than you think. If you’re feeling stuck, don’t wait for clarity. Take one small action. Today.

Billionaire investor Howard Marks breaks down a fundamental market reality: risk stems almost entirely from human behavior. "If you have more money than you need to eat, the first purpose of your money should be to make you comfortable. It doesn't make any sense..." "Buffett says, 'Don't risk what you have and need, to get what you don't have and don't need.' It makes no sense for somebody with a surplus of money to make their daily life less pleasant by going into investments that put them under pressure." "But... On the other hand, the riskiest thing in the world is the belief that there's no risk. The risk in the markets does not come from the companies, the securities, or the institutions like the exchanges ...the risk in the markets comes from the behavior of people."

Bar hop How It’s Done Start on one side of the stick with two targets at 7-10 yards and 1 yard apart. On the beep, engage the target directly in front of you with two shots, then engage the second target with two shots. Step over the stick and reengage the first target with two shots, and then the second target with two shots again. This drill is 8 shots total, with four on each target. Why It’s Done This drill is a great way to introduce movement into your training. If you're used to static shooting, this drill would be a great one to start with. It may be just one step, but getting your feet to do what they’re supposed to while shooting is harder than it looks. This drill also includes a couple of transitions, which will easily get you some Charlies and Deltas if you’re not careful. Things to Remember The goal is to make it sound like you're shooting one target. What I mean by that is you should try to shorten the time between targets and make the flow as smooth as possible. When you start and when you finish, be sure to check your stance. You don’t want to end up off balance. Bending your knees will help soften your movement. As always, make sure you are looking at a small spot and not just the whole target. It’s one of my favorite drill to do so give it a try! Thanks sis for the drill suggestion! Hannah

Qullamaggie on Why You Shouldn’t Take Low Quality Trades With Smaller Size “One more thing that’s really important: why you shouldn’t size down. You know, just to trade some good setup on an illiquid stock or a stock that is too illiquid for your account size. What you do is condition your brain to trade with smaller positions and smaller risk numbers. And when you get a good opportunity, like a big opportunity on a more liquid stock, you won’t have the confidence to take the correct size because you’ve spent a bunch of time conditioning your brain to trade smaller for no reason other reason than you can sit on your two hands and wait for a more liquid opportunity. You need to get out of the game and out of this mentality. You have to trade everything all the time; that’s not how trading works. Yes, in the past 12 months, it has worked like that, but once this main trend ends, you don’t know when it will end. It is going to end, and there are going to be slimmer opportunities.”

Naval Ravikant: “Human creativity is non-linear” “The right idea can be worth almost infinitely more than the wrong idea. And so it’s only a small number of innovators that are needed to really drive any endeavor you can imagine…. Assembling a small number of the right people to interact with each other will drive everything.” Naval continues: “Every revolution - whether it’s scientific, political, technological, or physical - is driven by a small number of like-minded people who are at the cutting edge of thought, getting together and brainstorming with each other.” This is as true of the Founding Founders as it is of many of the great companies in Silicon Valley. Naval argues: “You just need to figure out how to get a small number of very innovative people in the same idea space together and cooperating with each other to create the next round of institutions… A few dozen, a few hundred, a few thousand people can come up with the right ideas that will completely change things for everybody.” Video source: Balaji Naval (2024)

A 50% reduction in hip fractures sounds like a miracle drug. Until you look at what 50% actually means. The drug was Fosamax. Alan Cassels, a health policy researcher who has spent 30 years auditing how drugs get sold, kept the ads. He still uses them in his lectures. More than 3,000 women were in the trial. All of them high risk: low bone density, previous fractures, all defined as having osteoporosis. Researchers followed them for four years. Two out of every hundred broke a hip. On the drug, one out of every hundred did. CASSELS: "When you go from 2 out of 100 down to 1 out of 100, that's a 50% drop." That was the number sold to patients, to doctors, to specialists. "And people went away thinking, this drug is miraculous." Cassels' question is what one broken hip per hundred women is worth against what the drug does to the other ninety-nine. "How does that compare to the rate of adverse effects? And we know that the rate of adverse effects are much greater than 1%." "So you're promoting this drug on the basis of a misleading reduction. And this happens all the time." We saw the same trick in 2021 when Pfizer and Moderna claimed the COVID vaccine was "95% effective." JAN JEKIELEK: "It's the difference between relative risk and absolute risk."

Finished Pragmata. Genuinely a beautiful experience. A story about the family we choose instead of the one we are given. An inhuman girl on a different world learning what it means to be human, and an Orphan passing on the love his adopted parents gave him by doing the same for her. Certainly a game of the year contender, Pragmata has no fluff, bloat or instances of slow pacing. It offers a unique take on 3rd person shooter combat, blending it with a hacking mini-game that on paper sounds tedious and annoying, but somehow ends up being both creative and fun. Hugh and Diana are two halves of a whole, both in gameplay and the narrative. They don't work without each other, all of Hugh's weapons fulfill different roles inside the sandbox making no two options the same. Diana's hacking mods encourage strategy, quick thinking and moment to moment decision making without halting the fast paced combat. It's a system I don't think we've ever really seen before and the fact that Capcom was able to both make a hacking minigame that's fun instead of tedious and interweave it with real time combat without ruining the pacing, is truly a testament to how much creativity and thought went into the game design. The levels all encourage backtracking, have a ton of verticality and always remain a decent size so sections never drag on for too long, in fact I'd argue some sections of the game could've been longer. The small puzzles around levels or in training are less designed for challenge and more-so to breakup the combat, so you'll never be spending a lot of time frying your brain on any of them. The enemy design is varied and you have to approach all of them differently, using different weapons and hacking mods which are more useful on some than others, and the fact that all weapons (except your primary) and mods have very limited ammo means you'll be carefully considering what weapons/mods you use on what enemy, instead of randomly blasting any you come across with your strongest weapon. There's a good variety of unlockables as well, outfits for Hugh and Diana, new weapons, mods, the stuff you would expect, all the way up until you beat the game which will give you rewards to use in NG+, there's a good amount of stuff to play with and the customization is solid. If I had a few criticisms, I'd say I wish we got at least one more primary weapon and maybe a few more unique looking suits for Hugh, since some of them are borderline color swaps. The story is a fantastic one, character driven rather than plot driven. Hugh and Diana's adopted father/daughter dynamic carries the game on it's back, Hugh guiding and teaching Diana what it means to be human, providing her the small glimpses of joys that earth can provide and giving her the parental guidance and love she never received, just as his adopted parents did for him. It's all about the small character moments between these two. I teared up on multiple occasions, especially the ending which was heartfelt, satisfying and conclusive. Whoever decided that some of the collectibles would just be toys for Diana needs a raise, it might be the most sweet, wholesome collectibles in any game I've ever seen. I found myself wanting to find them just to watch Diana be happy and get her to draw more cute pictures, it's really the cutest thing. The music, art style, visuals, all of it is great though there's only two tracks that really standout in my mind and they both come at the every end. The game is on the shorter side, I did all available content and beat it within 13 hours, but NG+ offers additional content and beating the game unlocks a new mode, so there's still stuff left to do and new toys to play with. The shorter runtime encouraging replayability. This is what we needed, a cool new I.P with creative, innovative mechanics, a heartwarming story in an interesting new world and likeable new characters we all want to root for. Pragmata fucking slaps. 9/10.

Finished Pragmata. Genuinely a beautiful experience. A story about the family we choose instead of the one we are given. An inhuman girl on a different world learning what it means to be human, and an Orphan passing on the love his adopted parents gave him by doing the same for her. Certainly a game of the year contender, Pragmata has no fluff, bloat or instances of slow pacing. It offers a unique take on 3rd person shooter combat, blending it with a hacking mini-game that on paper sounds tedious and annoying, but somehow ends up being both creative and fun. Hugh and Diana are two halves of a whole, both in gameplay and the narrative. They don't work without each other, all of Hugh's weapons fulfill different roles inside the sandbox making no two options the same. Diana's hacking mods encourage strategy, quick thinking and moment to moment decision making without halting the fast paced combat. It's a system I don't think we've ever really seen before and the fact that Capcom was able to both make a hacking minigame that's fun instead of tedious and interweave it with real time combat without ruining the pacing, is truly a testament to how much creativity and thought went into the game design. The levels all encourage backtracking, have a ton of verticality and always remain a decent size so sections never drag on for too long, in fact I'd argue some sections of the game could've been longer. The small puzzles around levels or in training are less designed for challenge and more-so to breakup the combat, so you'll never be spending a lot of time frying your brain on any of them. The enemy design is varied and you have to approach all of them differently, using different weapons and hacking mods which are more useful on some than others, and the fact that all weapons (except your primary) and mods have very limited ammo means you'll be carefully considering what weapons/mods you use on what enemy, instead of randomly blasting any you come across with your strongest weapon. There's a good variety of unlockables as well, outfits for Hugh and Diana, new weapons, mods, the stuff you would expect, all the way up until you beat the game which will give you rewards to use in NG+, there's a good amount of stuff to play with and the customization is solid. If I had a few criticisms, I'd say I wish we got at least one more primary weapon and maybe a few more unique looking suits for Hugh, since some of them are borderline color swaps. The story is a fantastic one, character driven rather than plot driven. Hugh and Diana's adopted father/daughter dynamic carries the game on it's back, Hugh guiding and teaching Diana what it means to be human, providing her the small glimpses of joys that earth can provide and giving her the parental guidance and love she never received, just as his adopted parents did for him. It's all about the small character moments between these two. I teared up on multiple occasions, especially the ending which was heartfelt, satisfying and conclusive. Whoever decided that some of the collectibles would just be toys for Diana needs a raise, it might be the most sweet, wholesome collectibles in any game I've ever seen. I found myself wanting to find them just to watch Diana be happy and get her to draw more cute pictures, it's really the cutest thing.

lando: “the last two laps, looking up at the fans and seeing them on their feet and cheering [..] it's a very selfish moment, but it's one of the most special, incredible because it's such a rare thing that someone gets to feel and to see and to witness. so for me, the best win, maybe not the best way to win. you know, i'm not going to say it's my best for win. that's not true. but it's in terms of just what it means to win here at home, the want, the desire to do it in front of my own grandstand, my family, my friends, mclaren, you know, his royal highness is here. so to win just in front of all of them and for us to have a one-two make amends for last year makes it even more special.” ❤️❤️

Michael Phelps on how to accomplish big things: "When I said I wanted to win eight gold medals, basically half the people in the swimming world thought I was absolutely crazy and nobody could ever do something like that. But for me, I was somebody who believed in it and somebody who believed in the process of getting there." Michael knew it wouldn't happen overnight. As he puts it: "Every little small thing that we did was a small stepping stone in order to even be able to have that chance and that opportunity to do what I did in 2008. From 2002 to 2008 was basically trial and error." On managing pressure during the Olympics: "Winning a gold medal is absolutely incredible, but I knew that I had seven other events after the first day. So I have to throw that in the back of my head, throw that race out. I broke a world record, won my first gold medal, cool, things are starting really well. I have to put that behind me to get ready for the next race." He continues: "On top of that I have to make sure I'm eating the right amount, I'm sleeping the right amount, my body is as fresh as I can possibly be. That means sitting in an ice tank, getting massages, getting stretched. All of these small things end up adding up to the major end result." His daily approach: "We would call it putting money into the bank. At the end of the year when we had a major international competition, we could withdraw that money that we had saved throughout the year." On motivation: "I'll be the first one to tell you there were a lot of days where I did not want to get out of bed. But if you have those little small goals, those little small things that get you excited when you don't want to, it's going to make it even better and even easier at the end." The difference between good and great: "If you look at the greats in any walk of life, the greats do things when they don't always want to. And that's the separation for me." Small daily deposits create Olympic results.
