Taleb是《黑天鹅》、《skin in the game》的作者，看待问题角度独特，经常语不惊人死不休，是twitter上一道特别的风景。他和Naval不一样，naval很少说引起争议的论点，以启发人的生活、思想为主要目的，语言平实、论调新颖，而Taleb很毒舌，经常引起争论，言辞激烈。
最近他说了一些关于安兰德式的商业是根本的论调，贴在这里，作为学习资料。
Attention! Salary people: Next Friday when your guaranteed monthly paycheck is deposited, take a moment of gratitude fro the entrepreneurs who took the risks, so you get this risk-free income.Shaming an risk-taker for losing money is like shaming a soldier for losing a limb.
注意了！领薪水的人们：下周五，当你把每月有保证的薪水支票存起来的时候，请花一点时间来感谢那些承担风险的企业家， 以便获得这种无风险的收入。羞辱风险承担者赔了钱，就像羞辱一名士兵没了胳膊一样。
If there were no entrepreneurs and risk takers...
and remember that it is risk takers and the mechanism of risk-taking that pulled more than a billion people out of poverty, not the disign of some NGOer, civil servant, or some other acroparasite on a steady salary.
如果没有企业家和风险承担者。。。
请记住，风险承担者和冒险机制使超过10亿人摆脱了贫困，而不是领取稳定的薪水的非政府组织人员，公务员和其他顶级寄生虫。
The CEO of the company is not the entrepreneur skin in the game, but often some acroparasite actor milking the system.
公司的首席执行官不是压上老本的企业家，而是经常从中挤奶喝的顶级寄生虫演员。
With civil servants, what you see is what is there. With entrepreneurs, what you see is the subset of successful ones, not the entire cohort, which includes a huge majority of failures. Yet we need this risk-taking.
对于公务员，你所看到的就是那里呈现的。对于企业家而言，你所看到的是成功企业的合集，而不是整个群里，其中包括绝大多数失败。然而，我们需要冒险者。
Socialists managed to drill in people's heads the illusion that the money that pays for services is ultimately generated in Mars, that the industrial revolution was a British government project, and that......schoolteachers know anything about anything.
社会主义者设法在人们头脑中钻进了一种错觉，就是支付服务的钱最终是在火星上产生的，工业革命是英国政府的一个项目，而且。。。。教师对任何事情都知之甚少。
where did the money come from? Transfers from Mars?
We need to find a cure for financial illiteracy.
这些钱从哪里来？从火星转化而来？我们需要找到治疗金融文盲的方法。
Probabilistically risk takers earn LESS than salarypeople, particularly when you consider CEOs as nonrisktakers acroparasites.
概率上说，风险承担者比拿工资的人赚的少，特别是当你看待首席执行官们是不承担风险的顶级寄生虫。
For every successful entrepreneur you hear about on TV, there are 999 failed one eating canned sardines for dinner.
你听说的成功企业家都在电视上时，还有999个失败的在晚餐时吃沙丁鱼罐头。
