- thomasmallen 18y agoIn that case I was wrong to trust the article linked here.
- unalone 18y agoYeah. It's a pretty bad one.
- thomasmallen 18y agoI just remembered that I read "Tipping Point" years ago and didn't detect any prejudice or really any negativity. I just didn't put two and two together (Gladwell's name doesn't stand out to me).
- SkylerNovak 18y agoThe article is good. Just look a the discussion it's begun.
- unalone 18y agoBut the discussion exists because the topic is so vivid. The article itself is rambling, incoherent, and at many times wrong.
