Here's a fight(more like an assault on the elderly) that broke out between a black American on a South Korean bus because the elderly people, who probably don't speak a word of English or know English racial slurs, referred to him as "you" in their own language in their own country: https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/comments/88xlz4/a_bl...

I tried reading a few of Taleb's books but I couldn't get past the common sense arguments lacking any data. Feels like self help books. Does anyone else feel this way? These aphormisms really remind me of that.

> The counterargument to this is that dependence on the US military keeps other countries from putting in the resources to become military competitors.

You dont need to be a direct military competitor, Afghanistan and Iraq have shown that you can still defeat US with a thousand cuts.

How have either Afghanistan or Iraq defeated the US in any conventional sense of the word?

Commenters bringing up "meritocracy" don't seem to realize that fair meritocracies rarely exist in society. Often, your merit allows your to accumulate more merit, making the merit function geometric rather than linear. When the merit function is geometric, all it takes is a small change of fortune to start a rapid rise or a rapid decline.

How does that explain the vast over representation of African Americans in professional basketball? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_and_ethnicity_in_the_NB...

It doesn’t, does it?
