karlhungus reviewed Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Review of 'Antifragile' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
I found this really hard to read. The author is so dismissive of others, and just plain insulting without a huge amount to back it up. Yet, because I found him so hateful, I felt the need to persist in reading.
At one point he defends the imperial system vs the metric system
He talks about how all increased life expectancy can be attributed to decline in smoking, implying that medical science is maybe not living up to it's goals. Yet ignores the quality of life improvements we've seen from medical science.
