[Video] 'The Black Swan' author Nassim Taleb endorses Ron Paul for president on CNBC

[Darthbrooklyn]

Was amazing.. Nassim was out touting Ron Paul , and when they asked him what he thinks about RP's chances, he said (paraphrasing) I dont care what his chances are, it is my duty to support him because he is the only one with the solutions to fix this country. "The govt needs a root canal, not just more novocaine" I love it.. Thank you Nassim

Wow, that was a Hell of a little segment they just had on. Cherry on top was Santelli throwing in at the end in confirmation.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly. I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly. I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly. I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. How may times will I have to say this?

More times. It doesn't seem to be getting through...

Was just about to post this. He had some really nice things to say about Ron's economic knowledge and policies.

He doesn't tweet much: https://twitter.com/#!/NicholasTaleb

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because of bread and circuses

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because they're fearful of things getting worse or some boogeyman.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because the major mouthpieces enjoy the status quo.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because people enjoy supporting a winner more than they like standing up for themselves.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because they don't have any reason to not believe the lies they've based their lives on.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because they truly believe that it's all Obama's fault.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because they truly believe that it's all Bush's fault.

I just don't understand why people aren't waking up more quickly.

Because it's rational to be ignorant when your vote has a vanishingly small chance to affect you personally.


There are 250 million people that need to have enlightenment. There are 500 million reasons they havn't gotten there yet.

He's a pretty smart guy, Taleb.

 

[thoughtomator]

he is very widely respected and this was an incredibly strong endorsement

 

[FreedomWon]

This is a great endorsement. Taleb speaks the plain truth. Look forward to his new book.

 

[ctiger2]

Taleb's holding a fundraiser for Paul as well. Very Nice!

 

[FindLiberty]

Wow, he nailed it. [addressing the issues we are facing - "non-political"]

Save us Ron Paul, you are our only hope!

This is a great endorsement, we need more well-regarded experts on our side.
