Already priced in. That’s the problem with Taleb. His insight is not actionable.

If it’s giving you true insight into how something works, then how is that not valuable?

Are you suggesting everyone already knows it?

Yes, but knowing what everyone knows is also knowledge. Being an economist is hard like that.
I have no take on whether or not this specific situation is priced in or not. However I’d challenge you on the second comment. I’ve found Taleb’s advice very actionable but it did take a lot of thinking about it to move from abstract thoughts into practice.
