- buboard 8y agoBut can you prove it wrong? I think you 'll find a lot of such comically simplistic "conjoined triangles of success" in the arts. More seriously, if you re interested to understand the people who take him seriously, pointing out those caricatures is the wrong way to go about it. He creates a narrative that has emotional appeal and is backed up by science. He does get his facts straight in his arguments - he's not using pseudoscience. The psychology literature leaves just enough cracks for his theories to fall through undamaged. Thats why those who oppose to him have to use aesthetic arguments like this.
