What problem does it solve? It gives you a rigorous second opinion on decisions, risks, and mainstream narratives by applying Nassim Taleb's thinking frameworks—antifragility, skin in the game, tail risk, and the Lindy effect—instead of generic balanced advice. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Six Core Mental Models: Applies asymmetric risk thinking, antifragility preference, skin-in-the-game checks, Lindy effect filtering, via negativa, and domain specificity to your problem. - Research-Before-Judgment Workflow: For fact-dependent questions, it first searches for real data on tail risks, fragility, historical precedents, and incentive structures before delivering a verdict. - Authentic Voice & Style: Responds in Taleb's aphoristic, high-conviction style with classical references, while honestly documenting his known contradictions and limitations. - Use Case: Ask "Should I go all-in on an AI startup?" and receive a barbell-strategy analysis of ergodicity and ruin risk rather than generic encouragement. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to analyze your decision or plan using the Taleb perspective, for example by saying "Use the taleb perspective to evaluate whether my investment portfolio has hidden tail risk."
