Who is this bald dude?
Nabil is a 31-year-old who lives in Paris. He loves food, antifragility, and a girl named Tina.
Nabil's hinking is influenced by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, Daniel Kahneman, Warren Buffet, and Charlie Munger. Though Nabil never met them, he considers them as his teachers, especially Taleb.
All of tthse intellectual giants are practitioners who rely on trial and error to formulate and test their ideas. They write what they do, unlike many “thinkers” who never do what they write.
Speaking of “doing,” Nabil is a General Engineer — he knows a bit about lots of technologies but doesn’t specialize in a particular one. However, his personal interest in software led him to work in IT where he helps build and supervise software for different industries.
Nabil worked for Renault-Nissan-Mitsibushi (cars), Group ADP (the company that built two airports in Paris and others elsewhere), and RATP (Parisian metro and buses). He now works with the IT Department of La Poste (the French Post Office).
Right now, Nabil focuses on Machine Learning because he believes it's the beating heart of today's tech.
Although Nabil can (easily) make a living from writing full-time, he keeps his engineering job for two reason. T
1. Like his teachers, he wants to be a practitioner.
2. He doesn’t want his writing to be influenced by his income.
Wait, why the heck is he talking about himself in the third person? Apparently, Nabil believes good writing involves less “I” and more “You.”
What does this bald dude write about?
Technology — because technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Energy, and Automation are in the driver's seat of the future.
Wealth-building — because the only way to be truly free is to have “Fuck You Money."
Where to find Nabil's content?
Here on Medium, but my followers rarely get my stories in their feeds.
If you want to get the latest posts in your inbox, you can subscribe to my Substack here: https://nabilalouani.substack.com Roughly 70% of my content is free. The paid part gives you access to a weekly super-post called the Anti-Suckers' note.
Why "Anti-Suckers?"
In a complex and tech-driven world, it’s easy to become a sucker. Lots of information and very few reliable sources. We find ourselves unaware of what's happening around us and how to react to it.
The short version of what it means to be anti-sucker is this: "Suckers think they understand the world. Antisuckers learn how to live in a world they don't understand."
This is what my writing is about. My weekly column called Anti-Suckers Note involves three parts:
1. Tech news with a short commentary for each important development.
2. Recommendations like YouTube videos, books, and podcasts — mostly about wealth-building.
3. A few “philosophical” lines about what it means to be an antisucker.
On occasion, the column involves deep dives (tech and wealth-building).
