Found this on the Daily Paul.

You have to be logged into Facebook to see the exchange so for those that don't have Facebook, I'll post the message.

Someone asked him the following question:

Prof. Taleb, I'd be really curious to hear what you think of the current political campaigns, specifically that of Dr. Ron Paul. It seems that you have a lot of fans among his supporters - myself included

Nassim Taleb - The only person I trust is Ron Paul.

That sounds like an endorsement!! Do you mind if we publicize?

Nassim Taleb - Yes, go ahead. What I write is what I think . "The Only Candidate I Trust is Ron Paul"

That's awesome. Would love to see him on some MSM interviews. Maybe fareed zakaria or someone like that. Black Swan was a great read.

Ron Paul is the Establishment's "Black Swan"

She might have been hot, but Nassim Taleb's book has nothing to do with the movie

Oh wow! I can't wait for his next book "Antifragility" to come out!

Theres a really good podcast with him (actually came out just this week) on EconTalk with Russ Roberts. Definitely worth a listen to.

Nassim Taleb, author of Fooled By Randomness and The Black Swan, talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about antifragility, the concept behind Taleb's next book, a work in progress. Taleb talks about how we can cope with our ignorance and uncertainty in a complex world. Topics covered include health, finance, political systems, the Fed, your career, Seneca, shame, heroism, and a few more.

In that case, I have to assume that the book would have been better if it had been illustrated with hot pictures of Natalie Portman.

He's one of the most brilliant minds in finance, I'm glad to hear this.

Black Swan

Just by coincidence, I am halfway through Black Swan at the moment. It is a REALLY good book. And I concur that the rise of the liberty movement, with the unpredictable mixture of Ron Paul and the internet, just MIGHT be a Black Swan for the corrupt guardians of the status quo.
