#187: Nassim Taleb On Why You Shouldn’t Be A Careerist Or Put Yourself In A Box

Published: Jan. 9, 2022, 6 p.m.

Taleb points out that the great philosophers had another job besides philosophy to prevent themselves from compromising their work and ‘debasing knowledge’ as a sport.

Today we discuss how you can avoid being a careerist and putting yourself in a box, to elevate your possibilities, keep integrity and avoid getting roasted by Taleb.

Starting from episode 181, we’re doing a series on Nassim Nicholas Taleb, his book Antifragile and the application of his ideas to learning, education and careers.

Full blog post summarsing the ideas in this podcast series.
