Prediction, not narration, is the real test of our understanding of the world.

I've debated many economists who claim to specialize in risk and probability: when one takes them slightly outside their narrow focus, but within the discipline of probability, they fall apart, with the disconsolate face of a gym rat in front of a gangster hit man.

Capitalism is about adventurers who get harmed by their mistakes, not people who harm others with their mistakes.

The fool generalizes the particular; the nerd particularizes the general; some do both; and the wise does neither

Heroes are heroes because they are heroic in behavior, not because they won or lost.

You exist if and only if you are free to do things without a visible objective, with no justification and, above all, outside the dictatorship of someone else's narrative.

Being an economist is the least ethical profession, closer to charlatanism than any science.
