I dropped this off at what looks like some weird portal to the Freakonomics blog:
I would like Taleb to talk about where common sense stays right and where it goes wrong. I believe that what he's studying vis a vis falsifyable claims & Karl Popper are good rules for ordinary everyday life. If he can create a tool that ordinary people can use to check when their logic runs off the rails, that would be very useful.
How would I say things in a conversation that don't make me or the people I'm talking to subject to foolish claims? What is a style of questions and answers that allow us to keep from jumping to false conclusions? How can I brainstorm ideas and then start to implement one of them without overselling it?
