  3. Molyneaux doesn't do himself any favors with libertarians when he does stuff like this. It's such a collectivist mentality to use these statistics to make any point.

  5. To be fair, "Steve Jobs is Syrian" does not counter the statistics Molyneaux sites, as it is anecdotal. While the real debate should focus on honing in on the many possible explanations for these statistics (that have been reproduced multiple times), the emotional outburst displayed by Taleb demonstrates that he is incapable of objectivity on the subject.
