No-nos

On July 6, 2021 in humanness • 1 minute read

From the Commencement Address at the American University in Beirut by Nassim Nicholas Taleb

The following are no-nos:

• Muscles without strength,
• friendship without trust,
• opinion without risk,
• change without aesthetics,
• age without values,
• food without nourishment,
• power without fairness,
• facts without rigor,
• degrees without erudition,
• militarism without fortitude,
• progress without civilization,
• complication without depth,
• fluency without content,
• and, most of all, religion without tolerance.
