Does Taleb oppose the Boglehead approach to investing?

By Boglehead I mean buying low-cost index funds like VT or VTI, not market timing, simple three-fund portfolio, etc. This approach seems to rely on modern portfolio theory and the efficient market hypothesis - both of which Taleb rejects. But it seems to work for the vast majority of people if they stick to it.
