If I were writing a parody novel, in my most fertile dreams I wouldn't be able to come up with a name as perfect for my bumbling hero-manque than Eric Feigl-Ding.

Will be interesting to see what his next grift is. I can't stand him, but it's fascinating in a horrible car crash sort of way.

he should get some better editors.

that really does change the meaning quite a lot.

It's pretty obvious that practically nobody gives a damn about Monkeypox except for these guys which is the reason so many are calling it Money Pox. They are trying to gin up the fear like they did with Covid. The people who are still afraid of Covid aren't paying attention to this because they are still focused on Covid. And everybody else just thinks this is a sexually transmitted disease that doesn't kill people anyhow. And nobody's got any interest in Pandemic 2.0 when they can't even afford to buy gas and food.

Absolutely correct. I heard from someone today who was scared to death of a package they received. And yep... Because of scary, scary, *scary* covid. It took everything in my power not to start screaming at them. The level of literal insanity is unbelievable. Still.

"hijack the authority and prestige of the World Health Organization"

I almost hurt myself laughing thinking about the WHO as a prestigious authority. wanna be in a position of global authority, famous for their ridiculous misinformation.

those upstarts copying the logo and initials can have every single infinitesimal fraction of a nanogram of respect I have developed for the WHO if they want it... whatever is left of that immeasurably small amount of trust that I had for the WHO before they trashed their better researched pandemic policy advice in 2020 onwards.

WHO does have credibility - strong NEGATIVE credibility.

Michael, How you put this together so quickly is remarkable. This is almost priceless in its simplicity and readability. Worth disseminating widely which I shall attempt to do.

It reads like those Babylon Bee articles that turn out to be Not the Bee -- hard to imagine this is serious..."a slightly different blue"...really? How about yellow? Or red?

Sheesh. And thanks for doing this.

Proposal: Release 16 peaceful pot smoking hippies from the Federal gulag, and give these 16 Enemies of the Human Race their cells instead.

Jesus, what happened to Nassim Taleb? Did he finally start to believe his own most-interesting-man-in-the-world shtick?

Expand full comment

he's a trend follower midwit masquerading as a thought leader.

he was always just the 5th grader on the school bus holding forth with great authority on "how do do sex with a lady" to rapt 3rd graders.

Are you telling me that the detailed descriptions of his dinners with New Jersey mobsters may have been a leetle beet overblown? But I was soo looking up to him!

el pusso,

Whatever happened to his long tail?

Did you come across an article in 2020 where a former colleague of N Taleb laid into him with the kitchen sink in a massive article?

I remember early on in the pandemic listening to a podcast featuring Nassim Taleb as guest (a man I believed intelligent at the time) and being absolutely shocked and dismayed by his Chicken Little response; he completely suspended his critical thinking and jumped on the hysteria bandwagon. After that podcast, I threw away two of his books that I had read and enjoyed, and dismissed him entirely as an intellectual charlatan. Good riddance.

Yesterday I briefly saw a headline where it claimed that the WHO will meet to declare bungabungapox jamboree. I did not know it was World Ding Ding who did it!

I will always remember our Aussie Zoe Hyde for approving anal probes of babies.....

I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I read about the antics of Ding and his cohort. Part of me thinks that Ding and the anal swab lady must surely be parody Twitter accounts. But the other side of my brain recognizes that they are likely real, and either deranged or in it for the money (or both). And worse, they have people who follow them, not for the comedy appeal but for actual direction/advice. It's a crazy world.

Not just followers, but they're frequently quoted as leading experts by the New York Times and other elite publications.

I learned from Nancy P that it is called "merchandising". The FIB are experts at it.
