I’m no Socrates but I like the comparison! I looked up the quote:

"All vice is the result of ignorance, and that no person is willingly bad; correspondingly, virtue is knowledge, and those who know the right will act rightly.”

He got it right long before I did, I’m just suggesting the reason behind it.

I did read “The Black Swan” after the 2008 crash an liked it so much I read his other book: “Fooled by Randomness” which is also a good read. Taleb is an interesting character. He does the opposite of conventional wisdom. He’s always playing many small “long shots” for big wins and it works for him!

Great comment and insights! Thanks so much for the reply.
