 I just don't project well... I'd rather make people lean in so I can whisper than try to be loud. Never give up power, make it weird instead. πŸ˜‚

 Speaking softly is a power move πŸ’ͺ

Taleb actually said the same in one of those Antifragile series books. You get better quality listeners than those who just hear what's loudest.

 I suppose its one of those things that genetics will force a person to figure out lest be left to the whims of the loud ones. 

I haven't read those books. Series title is interesting. I'll have to look into that

 He calls it the Incerto because he's pretentious πŸ˜‚ Antifragile is actually the third book. It's Fooled By Randomness, The Black Swan, Antifragile, and Skin in the Game. All of them are good πŸ‘Œ

You can even read it backwards, because Skin in the Game is the most developed form of his ideas on randomness and fragility.
