Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“...my classical values make me advocate the triplet of erudition, elegance, and courage; against modernity's phoniness, nerdiness, and philistinism...many philistines reduce my ideas to an opposition of technology when in fact I am opposing the naive blindness to it's side affects - the fragility criterion. I'd rather be unconditional about ethical and conditional about technology than the the reverse.”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Bed of Procrustes: Philosophical and Practical Aphorisms
