About This Podcast

Reuploads from Nassim Nicholas Taleb's YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@nntalebproba). This is NOT an official channel of his, just a "fan" who wanted to have the conferences and conversations available in this format. If there is any issue with this, I will take down the content. Just reach out to @thejuansuero on X or [email protected] Hopefully some of you find this useful!
