The academic system is broken

之前，NNT写了个6页的paper讲Bitcoin bubble。https://www.dropbox.com/s/5jwrgf9l4j41dtx/Taleb%20-%20Bitcoin_Currencies_and_Bubbles.pdf?dl=0

有不少争论。有个professor批评此文。然后似乎弄错了基本的形式逻辑。
被读者找出来。

Nassim Nicholas Taleb:
The academic system is broken. In place of the current system, they should
grand PhDs in philosophy to all adults. Then, if the person make more than
three elementary fallacies, remove her of his doctorate.

Much more effective.

更搞笑的是，NNT收到一封bitcoin勒索信。要1500刀。
且说有2人已经付钱了。NNT问：这是真的吗？
twitter有人不得不告诉他：付钱的那两人，通常是勒索者一伙的。
