Anyone plan on hedging themselves against Taleb's future, or any other that isn't outrageously optimistic?
Always. I'm going to be a couple extra years out from FI (according to normal mustachian projections) because I keep a "money-losing" stache in "safe" (to sudden economic swings, but vulnerable to inflation) locations. Hopefully I never have need of it, but it's part of my personal risk/rewards calculation. There's what appear to be another couple of bubbles right now, but it's always so hard to tell for sure until *after* they pop. :-)
