Taleb'ed his own reputation 

Destroying your own reputation completely and irreversibly in a few quick steps. Usually refers to someone's great reputation that was built over a very long time and which was utterly destroyed in a very short time by their own unexpectedly ridiculous actions, like the previously-respected famous author Nicholas Nassim Taleb did to his own reputation after many consecutive aggressive rants on social media that many saw as complete mental break-downs and as attacks to his own ideas, books, friends, colleagues and followers. This is one of the quickest known "from Hero to Zero" in the modern world.
He was building his reputation for 20 years but he Taleb'ed his own reputation in 20 minutes

Taleb Distribution Theory

The informal name for the class of probability distributions that characterize Taleb's worldview—distributions with fat tails, where extreme events dominate, where the sample mean is unstable, where the future is unpredictable. Taleb Distribution Theory argues that most real-world phenomena follow such distributions, not the thin-tailed normal distribution taught in statistics classes. In a Taleb distribution, a single observation can change the mean; history is made by outliers; the typical is irrelevant. The theory is the mathematical foundation of the Black Swan worldview, the proof that we live in a world where what we don't know matters more than what we do. It's statistics for a world that defies statistics.
Example: "He'd been trained on normal distributions, where means are stable and outliers are rare. Taleb Distribution Theory showed him a different world: where one event can change everything, where what you haven't seen matters more than what you have. His old tools were useless here. He had to learn new ones—or be crushed by the next Black Swan."
