Nassim is smart but he's such a blow-hard. He constantly says that "person x is not rigorous" and yet he himself doesn't display any of this rigor he values so much.

He says "this is not ergodic..." or "lacks ergodicity" and always adds "we'll define that soon... I'm coming to that..." but he never does.

He has some good ideas, and his general idea for this book, that people should have skin in the game, is probably valid. But it could be argued far more effectively in a far shorter book by a much better writer.
