I don't know anyone who actually likes Malcolm Gladwell anymore. 22 years ago, I was Your Friend Who Despises Malcolm Gladwell and David Brooks and Will Not Shut Up About It. I would go around talking about how they are dumb men pretending to be smart men pretending to be dumb men. Their whole method for writing a book or column is to begin on the authority of "I think I thunk a thought." Loathsome work, loathsome ideas. More here on Gladwell's latest grift:
