Reading Antifragile by Nassim Taleb was eye-opening for me. I turn to the concepts of the book whenever I feel unsure about a decision or opinion.

I don't think you deserve the downvotes and attacks. I believe they're from people who think everyone who reads the bible is a right wing religious fanatic. Same as the people who think everyone who reads the Koran is a jihadist, which ironically tends to be...

I came here to say that. Sorry about the abuse you're about to take. But we deserve it apparently. Sins of the fathers or "people like us" or something, I guess.

You literally only said "The Bible" and I already saw some frothing.

Have you bashed out any newborn babies' brains on a rock today?

Chill.

The day has barely begun. Gotta go to the morning stoning first. Pushy people like you make us regular baby brain bashers look like weirdos.

Sorry. So at what point do we lust after our lovers, whose genitals are like those of donkeys and whose emission are like that of a horse?

I forgive you for posting that.
