Mention to Nassim Taleb for making me discovered EVT and Mandelbrot. I dropped a whole career in economics to pursue in an applied probabilities cursus. I was fortunate to be able to change and trade in my youth days. The Greco-Phoenician mentor @nntaleb

@nntaleb @kaushikcbasu As an economist I agree with Nassim but I am viewed as a charlatans by the mainstream because of my beliefs in complex systems and non linearity 😂... Actually I am now in a Quants program...

The last stand of Constantine XI, Saint in the Orthodox Church, and last ruling Roman Emperor. He had skin in the game like @nntaleb promotes. A principle well observed in the Roman Empire. #byzantine #fallofconstatinople #29MAYIS1453

The main problem in economics is that except for econometrics there is no way to backtrack their equations with pure/applied mathematics theorems or equations....Mathematical finance on the other hand way more straightforward to compare it to the pure stuff.
