## What Jamie wrote

I've read most if not all of Taleb's books. He's brilliant for sure. This episode of the Tim Ferris show is an interview with him and Scott Patterson for his new book [Chaos Kings: How Wall Street Traders Make Billions in the New Age of Crisis](https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Kings-Street-Traders-Billions/dp/1982179937/). The dialogue goes all around risk and Black Swans. I enjoyed it a lot. It made me want to go back and re-read [Fooled by Randomness](https://www.fooledbyrandomness.com) again.
