Yes, people like Snowstalker are mere dabblers compared to Taleb. While Snow deals with some tired worn tropes that would have seen dated in a SWP meeting in 1991, Taleb invents all his own sage and on a wide and all-encompassing scope of topics, creating a near infinity of sage on almost all positions, including ones which contradict each other. Truly, Taleb is one of the master scholar of our time (and the writer of the most important social science book since The Wealth of Nations as according to one 'serious economics' blog I read once).

Truly he has a dazzling intellect.
