Odd Lots: Eating Steak With Nassim Taleb and Charlie McElligott

Author Nassim Nicholas Taleb and Nomura strategist Charlie McElligott are well-known for their opinions on things like trading, risk and uncertainty. But they also have very strong opinions on food! Nassim famously talks a lot about squid ink pasta, for instance, while Charlie is a well-known meat lover. So we thought we’d invite them to a special meal, one that would be recorded live onstage at our recent event in New York. This is a special subscriber-only bonus episode of our live steak-eating session, in which Nassim and Charlie talk about what makes a good meal, how their respective diets have evolved over the years, plus a near-death experience involving brisket.

Nassim Taleb, author of “The Black Swan,” and scientific advisor at Universa Investments, says he doesn’t think the “consciousness of risks” has improved over the last 25 years.
