Despite calling him a “minor genius,” Steven Pinker goes after Malcolm Gladwell pretty good. Gladwell responds. I still love Gladwell’s writing, but have grown weary (and wary) of his “tell two interesting stories and then make a huge leap of logic and/or cherry pick evidence to come up with a grand unifying theory” approach.
Hi
I'm Jim Biancolo, and this is stuff I found interesting that I thought you might like too. Here are some of my favorites if you want to start there. Mostly I link to other people, but some stuff is mine, like:
- A list of my favorite action scenes
- A bunch of movies I liked that are available to watch instantly on Netflix
- Fun with Bic pens: the Earth Pen and the Fridge Pen
- My very own oatmeal recipes that sound totally gross but are actually good
Spillover
I am loving Instapaper, and use if to sock away stuff to read. Here are a bunch of articles I read recently and liked.
