Igor Muzevic noted that he felt awkward when the non-governmental organization quoted Nicholas Taleb, as Muki was supposedly doing in the recording. He mentioned that Taleb introduced the term "Intellectual Yet Idiot" or IYI for well-educated members of the higher middle class, which includes bureaucrats, officials of non-governmental organizations, and various experts. According to Muzevic's description, IYIs shape rules and policies, lead organizations, and manage institutions, but they are generally not the ones to bear the consequences of unsuccessful ideas. Their authority is said to be based on diplomas, titles, and positions, rather than on practical experience or proven results. He added that they often act condescendingly and interpret disagreement as ignorance, labeling skeptics as uneducated, reactionary, or populist. #IntellectualYetIdiot #NicholasTaleb #NVO (translated)
