>There is a toxic type of person to avoid. The kind obsessed with hierarchy, constantly ranking everyone: net worth, IQ, number of publications,academic titles & citations, cycling FTP, 5K running speed, education, etc.
They are miserable & want you to be miserable too.
Do you agree with him?

If you want to avoid someone, that means you deem them below you and not worth of your time therefore he installing a hierarchy regardless

yes he is completely correct
all the things he listed say nothing about whether or not you are a good person or fun to be around or even if you are good conversation
nothing bores me more than when i meet someone and their immediate subject is work and money
i would rather hear about their favourite movie or game, poem or album, mountain or lake, painting or podcast, or just anything with an ounce of subjectivity and humanity

Retards always self report. He's literally making a hierarchy while complaining about hierarchy

>for arabs
but Taleb is Phoenician, not Arab. The Arab imperialists conquered his people, and forced them to speak a foreign language (Arabic) and worship a foreign prophet (Muhammad).

That's just one type of toxic person. It's laughably insufficient. The only way to be accurate is to judge people individually. Don't assume anything. Don't generalize.

depends
it's good to know where your place on the totem pole is but more importantly why it is your place. Normies selfdom think about why they are the way they are, they just know it instinctively. This lack of insight makes them lash out to your supposed transgressions
>implying that a corrupt rich man isn't a paragon of humanity for example
>"lol you are just coping hard lil bro"
>that guy is on gear
>"he still looks good"
etc
just avoid these people and try not to be them

Normies breed. Normie ideas survive. Normie ideas are what it means to be human. I AM NOT HUMAN. I SHOULD NOT LIVE. Weird, different, loner, AND I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT
My effort makes no difference.
I'm sensitive to how people for hierarchies and how I don't fit in any of them anywhere and I realize I have nowhere on Earth to go to get away from it so I may as well die.

Yeah he contradicts himself constantly because he likes living in your country. He's like the pajeet meme about let me tell you about your country and why I fit into it but with higher verbal IQ.

It sounds good but is ultimately meaningless copy when you try to apply it.
You should still read his book. It is good.

Hierarchy always will exist, now matter the system you're under. That being said, if you're a faggot that love talking about it, you're annoying and of course people wouldn't want to associate themselves with you
