Nassim Nicholas Taleb spent 21 years as a risk taker (quantitative trader)
before becoming a flaneur and researcher in philosophical, mathematical and
(mostly) practical problems with probability.  

Taleb is the author of a multivolume essay, the Incerto (The Black Swan, Fooled
by Randomness, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game) an investigation of opacity,
luck, uncertainty, probability, human error, risk, and decision making when we
don’t understand the world, expressed in the form of a personal essay with
autobiographical sections, stories, parables, and philosophical, historical, and
scientic discussions in nonover lapping volumes that can be accessed in any
order.

scientic discussions in nonover lapping volumes that can be accessed in any
order.

In addition to his trader life, Taleb has also written, as a backup of the
Incerto, more than 50 scholarly papers in statistical physics, statistics,
philosophy, ethics, economics, international affairs, and quantitative finance,
all around the notion of risk and probability.

Taleb is currently Distinguished Professor of Risk Engineering at NYU's Tandon
School of Engineering (only a quarter time position). His current focus is on
the properties of systems that can handle disorder ("antifragile").

Taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase
knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport.

“The three most harmful addictions are heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly
salary.”

“The writer Umberto Eco belongs to that small class of scholars who are
encyclopedic, insightful, and nondull. He is the owner of a large personal
library (containing thirty thousand books), and separates visitors into two
categories: those who react with “Wow! Signore, professore dottore Eco, what a
library you have ! How many of these books have you read?” and the others - a
very small minority - who get the point that a private library is not an
ego-boosting appendage but a research tool. Read books are far less valuable
than unread ones. The library should contain as much of what you don’t know as
your financial means, mortgage rates and the currently tight real-estate market
allows you to put there. You will accumulate more knowledge and more books as
you grow older, and the growing number of unread books on the shelves will look
at you menancingly. Indeed, the more you know, the larger the rows of unread
books. Let us call this collection of unread books an antilibrary.”
