### Nassim Taleb, Minority Rule, and Census LGBTQ Controversy

- **Episode:** [1021: Sun Burps](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1021-sun-burps.md)
- **Published:** 2018-04-01
- **Time:** 45:30–49:46
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1021-sun-burps/chapter/nassim-taleb-minority-rule-and-census-lgbtq-controversy.md

Nassim Taleb's book "Skin in the Game" is discussed, specifically the concept of "minority rule" where a small, uncompromising group dictates societal norms, such as kosher or halal food standards. This concept is applied to the outrage from GLAAD regarding the lack of LGBTQ-specific questions on the U.S. Census. The hosts argue that these groups fear a loss of resources if their specific demographics are not officially quantified.

The decline in ratings for the reality series I Am Cait is attributed to a lack of conflict and an overly "politically correct" approach guided by GLAAD. The hosts argue that reality television audiences seek drama and conflict, which the show has failed to provide despite high-profile production.
