  Through Your Body: — Authority: 427
  By STEVEN PINKER Have you ever wondered why there are so many kinds of mustard but only one kind of ketchup? Or what Cézanne did before painting his first significant works in his 50s?

  Information Processing — Authority: 491
  Perhaps fittingly, the first use of "igon value" was in a profile of (then obscure) hedge fund philosopher Nassim Taleb. (See earlier post Pinker on Gladwell .) New Yorker, April 22 & 29, 2002 : [this version retreived from gladwell.com] ... As the day came to an end, Taleb and his team turned their attention ...

• The Igon Value Problem

  
  monkey's uncle — Authority: 99
  Priceless. Steve Pinker wrote a spectacular review of Malcolm Gladwell’s latest book, What the Dog Saw and Other Adventures , in the New York Times today. I regularly read and enjoy Gladwell’s essays in the New Yorker , but I find his style sometimes problematic, verging on anti-intellectual, and ...

• Pinker on Gladwell

  
  Information Processing — Authority: 491
  Ouch! Thanks to a reader for pointing out this Steve Pinker review of Malcolm Gladwells latest collection in the Sunday Times. I had more or less stopped reading stuff on Gladwell, as the uncritical acceptance of many of his claims is just too depressing a reminder of the mediocrity of our commenteriat. An ...

• Pinker v. Gladwell on NFL quarterbacks

  
  Steve Sailer's iSteve Blog — Authority: 636
  Was Steven Pinker correct when dismissing in the New York Times Malcolm Gladwells New Yorker article " Most Likely to Succeed " with the words, "It is simply not true that a quarter­back’s rank in the draft is uncorrelated with his success in the pros"?

• Malcolm Gladwell, Eclectic Detective

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 166
  Gladwell is a writer of many gifts. His nose for the untold back story will have readers repeatedly muttering, “Gee, that’s interesting!” He avoids shopworn topics, easy moralization and conventional wisdom, encouraging his readers to think again and think different. His prose is transparent, with lucid ...

• Making Success Unconscious

  
  Blogs — Authority: 160
  We slapped hands, as is customary before a grappling session. His demeanor was calm and he gave no indication when we were talking earlier that he was ultra-aggressive. We postured for a brief second, sizing each other up. Without warning he leapt into the air with both of his arms, legs and torso coming my way. ...
