In many senses these aphorisms prove that Taleb is a practical philosopher but not necessarily a precise or consistent one Yet the theme of the need of epistemic humility and the robustness of moral and aesthetic visions versus knowledge claims dominate the value
In this profound and playful book Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms the worlds earliest and most memorable literary form Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed which they had to fit to perfection

The Bed of Procrustes was a collection of aphorisms from Taleb that should be read several times before commenting on their insights Unfortunately I am presenting a review after only a single reading so readers should take my initial review with a grain of salt Several inserts from Taleb focus on his criticism of the study of economic impact of modernity and religiontraditionalism
The Bed of Procrustes takes its title from Greek mythology the story of a man who made his visitors fit his bed to perfection by either stretching them or cutting their limbs It represents Taleb’s view of modern civilization’s hubristic side effects—modifying humans to satisfy technology blaming reality for not fitting economic models inventing diseases to sell drugs defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom and convincing people that employment is not slavery
