prompt: pretend you're malcolm gladwell and say something very stupid

quote:

"The reason why people are so bad at understanding statistics is because they're not smart enough. If they were, they would be able to see the patterns and trends that I can see. But they're not, so they just make things up."

I would then go on to explain how I have a special gift for understanding statistics that most people don't have. I would say that I can see things that other people can't, and that this gives me a unique perspective on the world.

A while back I confused Malcolm Harris with Malcolm Gladwell when people were discussing some Malcolm Harris book, and spent a while being very confused about why people in C-SPAM were speaking positively about a Malcolm Gladwell book.

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
Gladwell's grades were not high enough for graduate school, so he decided to pursue advertising as a career.[14][18] After being rejected by every advertising agency he applied to, he accepted a journalism position at conservative magazine The American Spectator and moved to Indiana.

peak Malcolm Gladwell was when he wrote an entire book of pop psychology to justify why he took so many trips on the Epstein plane

Malcolm Gladwell once described my people (Mennonites) as "Jews that farm" which is minor in the grand scheme of Epstein stuff and all but I honestly don't know what even the gently caress.

Did you know things are getting better? Sure they might seem like they're getting worse, but then why did i read a Malcolm gladwell book saying they're getting better.
