Taleb has deep insights about some things, is laughably ignorant on other things, and doesn't seem to know which is which. His followers definitely don't.

I know he's rich and successful, so he has deeper insights than most.

But it doesn't mean he teaches them, as far I can see he just uses them. For instance he's very good at doublespeak.
