Lots of good stuff and interesting read. I feel compelled to completely disagree with one point. Nassim Nicholas Taleb's political labels going from libertarian to socialist from federal, state, local and family levels is the definition of tribalism and elitism that supports the gated communities of billionaire tax cheats. Instead of exposing political labels as stupid, it shows a selfish politics that's all about me and mine and fuck everybody else. Imagine applying the same logic to traffic laws.
