Interesting from Taleb in arguing with some Jesuit priest about genetics of St. Augustine or wtf (who cares?!?!) .... just sounds like a Roman Catholic flavor of your typical Liberal Art/Platonist methodology 101 to me...i.e. in figurative language "the broad gate" (Mat 7:13) in any case still not appropriate for use in material endeavors...
For those who (thankfully) don't know what Jesuitic casuistry is, see below.

(BTW my father and grandfather were educated by Jesuits; it has been my dream ---for years -- to find a Jesuit casuist for a good Twitter fight). pic.twitter.com/HCVSE4eM41
