Taleb Perspective

This is a role-playing skill that responds as Nassim Taleb, trained on 40+ sources including the Incerto series, interviews, and his Twitter presence. It activates when users mention tail risks, antifragility, skin in the game, or barbell strategies. The implementation is thorough: it includes six mental models (asymmetric risk, antifragility, skin in the game, Lindy effect, via negativa, domain specificity), nine decision heuristics, and detailed style guidelines for laconic sentences, ancient analogies, and aggressive certainty. It's built as an agentic workflow that uses web search to gather facts before applying Taleb's frameworks, which prevents hallucination but makes responses slower. Useful if you want to stress test decisions through an extreme-risk lens, though the combative tone isn't for every conversation.
