I've read a few books by the author and really liked this one. The author's background is in math and finance, but really this is a book about randomness and risk. The subjects used as the examples are varied, from finance to theology.

Who cares? I'm reading his book not inviting him over for dinner. He's a good writer and he has a fun sense of humor.

I read some of his tweets. Nothing really jumped out to me other than he has a lot of interests and is very intelligent. I'm guessing he must have triggered a certain whiny demographic …

Honestly, your protesting prompted me to go and buy the book. I'm so tired of cancel culture. Also, what would I think of you if I read some of your tweets? I have a sneaking suspicion they would be akin to the comment that I'm replying to.

Telling you don't understand, if he were cancelled you wouldn't be allowed to buy his book.
