becoming a full time essayist and scholar focusing on practical, philosophical, and mathematical problems with chance, luck, and probability his focus in on how different systems handle disorder he now spends most of his time in the intense seclusion of his study, or as a flâneur meditating in cafés in addition to his life as a trader he spent several years as an academic researcher (12 years as distinguished professor at new york university's school of engineering, dean's professor at u mass amherst) he is the author of the incerto (latin for uncertainty), accessible in any order (skin in the game, antifragile, the black swan, the bed of procrustes, and fooled by randomness) plus a technical version, the technical incerto (statistical consequences of fat tails) taleb has also published close to 55 academic and scholarly papers as a backup, technical footnotes to the incerto in topics ranging from statistical physics and quantitative finance to genetics and international affairs the incerto has more than 200 translations in 41 languages taleb believes that prizes, honorary degrees, awards, and ceremonialism debase knowledge by turning it into a spectator sport \\"\\"imagine
