I agree and I replied above saying I didnt really address the hidden nature of fakes. I went to ebay looking for fakes because they are cheaper and I didn't want to actually own real ones.

I like the Chinese counterfeits. I got a bundle of knock off Ralph Lauren polos that let me experiment with the frat boy look in college with out spending thousands on real ones. I personally like shanzai culture. Brands are cool but ultima

Kill the "work week" concept too while we're at it. Are we seriously going to continue the fallacy that humans only work on specific religiously appointed days? Just start moving to results only work environments.

Because books cost money to print? And take time to write? Stop burying the lead. I am still not hearing any good arguments about NNT's actual ideas, just loose ad hominem that doesn't really represent anything other than sentimen

Hey wow, what a terrible top comment. I think I count a bit of ad-hominem, some appeal to authority, a no true scotsman, but I don't see single concrete response to an of his ideas. Have you even read Taleb? Are you even aware of his p

There never was a level playing field? Narrative fallacy. Occasionally technology produces moments where dynamic conditions allow for people to leverage large amounts of energy if they get lucky. But all those people participating on a &quo
