Nassim Nicholas Taleb on the Minority Rule
“I have written about logically impaired people who asked me if one “must be skeptical of skepticism”; my answer was similar to that of Popper*, when he was asked if “one could falsify falsification” – I just walked away. We can clarify these points with the minority rule. It is indeed true: An intolerant minority can take control of democracy and destroy it.”
– Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his book “Skin in the Game – The Risk and its Price”, Penguin Publishing, page 134
* Karl Popper, philosopher of science
