What do you mean by society? HN? Because in general when you run into someone who's read Gladwell they think he's good.
HN brain has it right and I'm patting my own back here too, but HN opinion is quite a bit more well informed than general society.
- mattgreenrocks 4y ago> HN opinion is quite a bit more well informed than general society These sorts of generalizations are very dangerous, because when the group believes them it confers a false credence.
