TED?
Nassim Taleb criticizes TED for intellectual dishonesty and lack of substance in the latest edition of The Black Swan (2010). He calls TED a ?monstrosity that turns scientists and thinkers into low-level entertainers, like circus performers.? Of all the venues he?s been invited to talk, he calls TED an aberration. Taleb spoke at TED2008, warning the audience about the fragility of the financial system. He claimed that the curators did not choose to post his talk on their website on purely cosmetic grounds.
