I've run out of shit to read.
I know there's one guy here who wanted to read Black Swan.
Did you go through with it and was it worth it ?

Not worth it.

Also whatever you guys are reading feel free to make threads. I'm interested in what people who ended up here spend their time on.

I read _The Obesity Code_ recently. Makes a good case that obesity is a hormone problem, not really an eating-too-much problem, and can be solved by sharply reducing insulin spikes. tl;dr: Eat fewer meals, don't eat or drink sugar, reduce your carb intake while you're at it, don't fear dietary fat, and don't snack. Eating 1500 calories compressed into one meal will be much better for weight-loss goals than 1500 calories spread out over 3–6 mealtimes.

Taleb's recent anti-IQ Twitter thread was kind of lame and surprisingly pro-establishment for a famous contrarian.

He's like a combination of Rick and Morty if Rick was arab and morty was a hipster scared by the fact his uncle molested him but everytime he would bring it up he would convince him that there's nothing to talk about.

What's most funny is that people who dislike peterson love this guy in most cases when he's practically the same thing except peterson has shown capacity to admit he's wrong.
