Malcolm Gladwell: What we can learn from spaghetti sauce

Are you saying that he's a mediocre generalizing populist at both?

See Steven Pinker's review of his latest book in NYTimes.

this guy is amazing.. anybody read his exchanges with bill simmons?

@TallTorBlond: you can't figure out how Gladwell's thesis: "embracing the diversity of humanity will lead to true hapiness" assists in raising happy and healthy children? And you can't relate how this concept might somehow, someday, help starving orphans in Africa?
Myopia isn't just a disease of the eye.

diseases affect us similarly because we have similar genes, but there is still a difference in how they affect us due to the difference in our genes.

By making medicines specific to a persons genes rather then generic ones, u r more likely to cure them

Secondly, the orphan is classed exactly as u say "poor starving AIDS infected child". This is a generic statement which doesnt address the childs individual curcumstances.

The help should be according to the circumstance. This is the moral.

Advertisers advertising how important they are! lol.

Choice yeah, it's a new concept - you're gonna love it.

With the dawn of profiled users giving all their data away I think they're getting worried about job security.

This is a poor TED lecture.

I didn't realise the name of the talk was 'raising happy and healthy children'

Well, remove your head from your ass and look around at the world, might help.

Who came up with the B roll of the plate of pasta ? Lol I don't think it was included in hte original lecture.
