A lecture summarizing the paper on violence with Cirillo to MIT and NECSI data scientists, mostly explaining to data scientists how to work with fat tails and only indirectly addressing Pinker by responding to those fooled by the illusion of drop in violence:

Uploaded on Jul 10, 2015A lunch discussion at MIT with computer science-data science researchers from MIT and NECSI. The talk is mostly about the methodology for dealing with fat tails, with application to violence.
We show which claims can be made, and which ones cannot be made, from data, and “violence has dropped” is not one of them. We do not focus directly on Steven Pinker’s popular science book (owing to some deficiencies), only indirectly as some people in political science made reference to it.

A general presentation of my research. In which I debunk some BS in social science (which includes our discussion on violence).
This is a critical 1 min lecture to understand independence, antifragility, “f** you money”, selfownership, and many things.

(This came 8 years after the f*** you money idea was formulated in The Black Swan, except that it missed the critical later development as Fat Tony explained that ” f*** you” is not financial, but a state of mind, people on minimum wage are more likely to have it.)
