I listened to the audio versions. Jon actually does the audio on most of his books. It's great hearing him tell the stories. I highly recommend it.

I've spent the last week periodically watching Jon Ronson and Malcolm Gladwell videos on KZbin. It took that long for KZbin to suggest I might like a video with both of them.

He's an interesting author and he cross questions Gladwell on many things - I think he's quite effective as an interviewer.

Trying to understand every element of the construct reminds me of the highs & lows of idealism. The intellect that ore-purposed the mundane, likened almost as though routine were the enemy of though. Though being somehow pejorative. “I name that tune in 2” The syllabus.

In the book, Freakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner says the drop in crime rate is directly correlated with the rate of abortion in a given city. Why ? Read the Book !
@Salmontres6 жыл бұрын
A good deal of people have taken credit for the drop in crime in New York. One big argument against the policing thing mentioned in this video is that other cities adopted those 3 strike rules and other harsher sentencing for smaller crimes. The drop in crime simply wasn't seen unanimously. I haven't seen any case contradict Levitt's finding about abortion, and actually, a similar pattern was seen in Romania.

"I know you're nervous, you haven't Done this before?" I guess technically that's true but unless it was a horrible experience no one should want to do over, I don't think she's going to come back and try it again. even though she didn't do it then.

But you see, underdog will get a +, and won't get the - since they expect to lose. The overdog on the other hand will not get + as they expect to win, and if failed, will experience -. So we are looking minimize the '-', not to maximize the '+'.

Emily Zong But then why the f should we care about minimising anyone's negative experience? Why not be more interested in functional quality than subjective emotional quality, this sounds too utilitarian and in a negative way too. It's more interesting if there's a greater variety of winners; upsets could lead to progress and development of the field of competition; and the frequent winner needs to be prevented from becoming a smug bastard. My own impulse is to want the underdog to win. I agree with what Gladwell says about this: we want justice and life doesn't make sense if the same lucky people keep winning all the time. Politically I'm an egalitarian and prefer a closing of the gap between two unequal people to a widening. But then again I'm reminded of the right-libertarian way of looking at things that says we are all essentially unequal and should not expect to be able to even everything up because it curbs the brilliance of the superior and inflates the mediocrity of the inferior.

Yeah, er... Richard Branson's father was a Barrister - his mother was a former ballet dancer and air hostess - in that era, with two working parents, one in a highly paid line of work...

You should always cheer for the favourite rather than the underdog? The favourite losing is more heartbreaking than the underdog losing? Sorry Malcolm, you're great but that is complete rubbish! Then again, he contradicts himself soon after; which is baffling for those (like me) who are not deep thinkers.
