Review of 'Ignition!' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
The sheer number of variables rocket propellant designers had to keep in mind is insane. This is a field that would've driven most people mad, but John Clark and his "gang" approached it with a cheery attitude. Even if you don't understand Chemistry there's much to be learned here.

This fool REALLY had to get himself killed in a duel and leave us with unfinished works. Fuck you, Pushkin.

Extremely readable, down to earth and informative. The plethora of negative reviews are from people who hate his personality. Nassim in someone interested in one thing--seeking truth. Those kinds of people are never conventionally likable; they're above all that bullshit. Socrates was put to death for being too fucking annoying, in a similar vein, if you can't get over his personality and look at the facts he's spewing you would've been one of the executioners xoxo bitches

Review of 'Power of Experiments - Decision Making in a Data-Driven World' on 'Goodreads'

As dry as an academic book, without the rigor of one.
There is practically nothing in this book that hasn't already been said by Eric Ries and Daniel Kahneman YEARS ago.
I have no idea who they were trying to appeal to here, it's too shallow to be an intellectual book and the writing is too poor to be a proper popsci book.
If you have nothing to say, why publish?
