This is THE best interview of Nassim Taleb by far, she asked questions from all over his works, not from some quotes or references from the internet, and I think she has actually read his books which itself is skin in the game for conducting the interview.

“Better to understand your preferences than be rich”. Priceless. I got in touch with what I truly obsessed over and dreamed for myself as a kid over the past few years and I really am richer for it.

She really is among the rare breed of ideal interviewers. Have seen her interview Steve Eisman as well. Salute to you, Katrine.

"If you do something you don't like, it sort of corrupts your personality" .. Would love to see him expand on that!

[MSenaLuphdika]

This interview is just superb. It strikes the nice balance between what's already in the book and new topics based on the book.
Bravo for the interviewer, miss Katrine Marçal. You are among a few interviewer who really knows what to ask and when.

Gods do not like cheap signals!

What a thinker! Nassim Taleb is a courageous person who understands the complexities of the world and simply would not bullshit you! Thanks for that talk!!

What a lovely interview! All you need is a great thinker and great human being, asked questions by a host who really wants to understand what he has to say. Why are both so rare?

The Market have been suffering over the past month, with all the three indexes recording losses in recent weeks. My $400, 000 portfolio is down by approximately 20%, any recommendations to scale up my returns before retirement will be highly appreciated.

Yes this interviewer really knows what she is doing. It is clear she has read the material and is asking thoughtful, interesting questions. I wish she could come help us out in the U.S..

[aberwood]

Such an amazing interviewer. She really lets her guests shine.

[nicholaschristodoulou]

Taleb is brilliant as usual- that goes without saying. The interviewer was outstanding. She wasn't trying to put words in his mouth as others might've.

[skanthaadsigns]

The host/anchor's quality of questions is way better than those of MSNBC or CNN by far..

[alivroca]

This must be among the top 5 NNT interviews. Brillant! Superb interviewer.

[DamaniJones]

I love how he lit up with the first question lol. This might be his best interview.

[na_haynes]

"it's better to understand your preferences than be rich" neat idea.

[danijelsan]

Always a pleasure to hear Taleb speak. So much wisdom and common sense.

[BlueBeeMCMLXI]

Don't fake who and what you are, you will look that way to the world. The young lady is lovely and insightful. Excellent clarity in her questions and in summarising the complex.

Nasssim be giving some serious, gangster-ass, logic. Interviewer is on point as well.
