@MattWalshBlog "Your reputation is harmed the most by what you say to defend it." - Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Used skillfully, a compliment will be much more offensive than any disparagement.

This is hard to accept in the age of the Internet. It has been very hard for me to explain that the more data you get, the less you know what’s going on, and the more iatrogenics you will cause. People are still under the illusion that “science” means more data.

Some things benefit from shocks; they thrive and grow when exposed to volatility, randomness, disorder, and stressors and love adventure, risk, and uncertainty.
