Sam Harris, to repeat, is not a scholar --he is a charlatan.

I did not podcast in 2019;
will do 1 in 2020 w/ @EconTalker on "Uninformative (less politely, "BS") metrics in social science" (stat under fat tails, correlation BS, IQ, etc.), largely bec. of long private 2-way conversations.
Will cover the new tech book.https://t.co/5JCWy84VU3— Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) February 18, 2020

actually joe there are 2 sweet spots
1) Kelly l=1-2p
2) Go bust for sure:
{l: Log[1-l]/Log[1+l] = p/(p-1)}, which seems to have no explicit solutions.
