I do research for my podcast primarily using the internet, but with full knowledge (and full disclosure with the audience) that the internet is very limited in terms of facts and substance. Which is really disappointing after all this time we humans have had to add to it, lol. And so many times I’ll find erroneous information copy and pasted to various, seemingly trustworthy, sites. Obviously the internet itself is an access point for research journals, databases, library resources etc but if you don’t have access to those things and are solely relying on the general internet… oh boy. 😂

These were really good answers, thank you! The only problem I have is with 10,000-hour rule: It’s not that 10,000 hour rule is “not true” per se, it is utterly a useless bit of information. Any person who became an expert will have to pass the 10,000 hour mark at one point in their lives – may it be before or after they are called an “expert”. This is not an objective measure. They also pass 12,000 hours. Also 15,000 hours. The “rule” could have been any of these, probably even 7,000 hours or 9,000 hours. I find it more like Mr. Beast’s recommendation for video titles: “Don’t write ‘I paid $5,000 to a person’ in your title; if you can, do ‘I paid $10,000 to a person’. Because 10,000 is a better number than 5,000.” So I believe Gladwell basically did that. Any other number would not be as catchy. Also, he admits in his own book that family, culture, friendships, IQ, luck, fortune, etc. are all critical for success. Putting in an effort of 10,000 hours to anything will probably make you “really good” at anything. But how does this information help in any way? It’s not a hard set rule, nor does it mean much.

It’s more of a benchmark. Like, if people aren’t already calling you an expert by the time you’ve put 10,000 hours in, you can start calling yourself an expert by that point. I think it’s a good, objective baseline. Remember, you don’t have to be smart to be an expert, and you don’t have to be an expert to be smart.

Gladwell seems unfamiliar with the accusation that the Stanford Prison Experiment was faked, that has been substantially documented. The prison guards were encouraged to act a certain way, and the prisoners were faking their distress as well. Gladwell just assumes the questioner is some crazy person rather than thinking maybe he’s missing something and should look into it.

“The biggest determination of success is having rich parents.” Couldn’t be more true. I have personally seen both sides. Smart and not so smart with rich or poor parents. Often, having access to more resources is always more beneficial no matter how you are intellectually. Regardless of your skills, attitude and situation in life, better financial stability is always the deciding factor to reaching your aspirations a.k.a. being successful. This just means, hopefully your ancestors have been gradually improving their financial stability and you got a better deal in life now compared to others.

How do you answer the paper “Debunking the Stanford Prison Experiment” by Thibault Le Texier. Your glib answer seems exactly the sort of thing this video is trying to stop.

I get that this is for entertainment, but some of the things this guy said, are just way too over-simplified. If you’re really interested in a more reflective perspective, I suggest you look into Science Studies…. because claiming that “replicability is the gold standard” is simply wrong and such an idealistically driven stance to take. very problematic!

If an interviewer asked me to show him my laptop…well, a) they’re not going to get much because I wouldn’t have carried one into an interview to begin with, but b) I’d probably choose to end the interview on the spot. It’s fine for a hiring manager to ask what I like to do in my free time. It is not okay for them to barge into that free time to take a look at what I’m doing unless that thing is a public performance of some sort.
Petra W
September 18, 2022 at 6:30 am
What kind of interview do you think he’s talking about?
I wouldn’t show my screen to a stranger either. But when someone is interested in what I’m working on I don’t mind telling what I’m researching right now. (Or when someone just wants to know what I’m interested in.) I probably wouldn’t even mind sharing one browser window, since I have not only several tabs but also several windows open, one for each topic. I could just hide the windows I don’t want to talk about. 😀

I can tell u about the golf part.
1. He was right. Takes a lot of money to play golf. Ie. Exclusive clubs memberships, travel distance=time=$, their spa/dining etc.. the whole package.
2. Age. You “rich” then mostly probably have reached the later years of their life span and golf is the perfect leisure activity that their body allows them to do. Even if not the person’s not that old, they might be there to hang around with their bosses or even more richer individuals in their elite groups.
3. Privacy. They’re not just there to play the sport but to actually held meet ups for conversations as no one could over hear/evesdrop them but still have high security as its an open space in public that u can see treats a mile away or their guards having eyes on them with no blind spots vice versa.
4. Location. In rich areas all over the world. Really don’t need to explain.

This guy doesn’t seem very intelligent, he exaggerates a lot and seem to have a ton of biases.
And no, the internet doesn’t contain ‘a tiny fraction’ of the knowledge in the world, it contains just about all of it. The issue with the internet is that there’s so much junk shadowing the good information (largely due to the barrier of entry for posting being so low) and that the search engines don’t always have our best interests in mind.

Not commenting on their reliability one way or the other, but there are in fact a few instances in which primary sources for purported hauntings can be found in abundance. The biggest one that comes to mind is the case of the Nelly Butler specter, which is reported to have appeared to over a hundred people in New England in the year 1800. Many people provided sworn testimony of what they had witnessed directly, and it is my understanding that several affidavits survive and can still be accessed by anyone.

O’Brien et al. 2019 have debunked “broken windows theory” with a meta-analysis. There is no actual link between allowing smaller crimes to go unpunished and the “disorder” of that situation, and the commission of larger, more significant crimes.

On the topic of the 10k hours rule, it’s a gross generalisation. Malcolm almost Rouches the point, but 10k hours doesn’t make you a zero to hero. There is way much more factors going on, among which a few are touched on by fellow Pushkin Industries podcaster Michael Lewis in his coaching season of Against the Rules. But things like aptitude (generally thought of as talent), transferrable skills, educational/developmental support and attitude have as much as, if not more influence on your progress and skill level reached than ‘just’ the 10k hours.
This doesn’t mean it’s bogus, practising a certain set of skills for a long time does have its benefits, but it’s not a guaranteed marker for success in a given field. Sadly the world isn’t clear cut like that.

Lots of people are going to libraries in 2022. Libraries have beautifully become knowledge-based community centers as well as being beautiful houses for lots of books. In fact, many libraries have *digital* houses for those books, too: Hoopla is one of those, but check with your local library. Its an app that, with a library card, allows you to check out a certain number of e-books, music albums, movies, and other resources a month. Your local library may also offer computer time, printer/scanner/3D printer access, events, snack times afterschool for children, art exhibits, conference rooms, and any other number of wonderful resources. You should go to one too!! They’re probably cooler than you think.

I read Outliers and many of the other books. Good stuff. But 10,000 rule isn’t the whole picture. eg. “A 2016 meta-analysis — also co-authored by Macnamara — in Perspectives in Psychological Science looked at 33 studies on the relationship between deliberate practice and athletic achievement and found that practice just doesn’t matter that much. More precisely, the analysis found, practice can account for 18 percent of the difference in athletic success. “

Antithesis @_antithesis_1 asked about intelligence failure. I think Antithesis might have been confusing the word “intelligence” —in this case, it is referring to spy-craft, not intelligence as in how smart people are. An intelligence failure is a failure to put together clues in various reports to determine the intent of an adversary. It’s never a direct cause of an event so much as failure to stop an event.

Oof…that answer re: Zimbardo and the Stanford Prison Experiment was definitely a swing and a miss, if for no other reason than it’s pretty clear Zimbardo was doing exactly what Gladwell was railing against in another answer: starting with a conclusion and seeking the data that supported it. He set pretty specific incentives around the experiment both to encourage the students playing guards to act out cruelty towards those playing prisoners as well as manipulated the students playing prisoners to stick with the experiment even as they began registering complaints about their treatment. Would the result have been different if he’d created incentives around treating the prisoners with kindness or redesigned the experiment once students started protesting? We’ll never know.
Was the Stanford Prison Experiment fake? No, definitely not. Did it produce anything scientifically useful or even valid? Also no.

Tho it’s not easy lol. We’ve all procrastinated or got lazy at some point of our life. Discipline there is no breaks just get it done.

As someone who adores libraries and is frequently frustrated by a lack of archival evidence/special collections online, this made me deeply happy.

When I was young I was told that people have natural talent and if you didn’t get good quickly than you never will. It’s embarrassing the number of things I started and quit.

In my country Taiwan, librarians actually don’t do anything. They probably don’t even exist. People working at the libraries are the retired aunties and uncles who live in the area. They’re usually rude. People go to the libraries to nap, or students go there to do their homework. Most books are never read by anyone.

I love a being like MG who resolutely refuses to suffer fools. I also like what he says about Wikipedia. I use it a great deal as a journalist, but only as a signpost pointing to the real sources of infor.ation. That is, never use it without going to the bottom and examining the sources for the information in the entry, then pursuing them. I also fear, as an old guy, that we are raising generations who dismiss every scrap of culture, of literature, of philosophy, that does not appear on the web. Because that leaves one ignorant of the gigantic majority of human knowledge, of millennia of thought. It’s frightening.

It was an average of 10,000 hours to be an expert. Some people had more than 10,000. Some had less. It’s by no means a rule. Anders Ericsson, the researcher Gladwell cites in that chapter, disagrees with the 10,000 hour rule.

Wikipedia finds a way to slip in their leftist politics. Climate Change cults.

John Lott never argued more guns less crime. He argued more guns being carried by law abiding citizens less crime. Now, whether THAT pans out or not is the place to start the debate. I don’t know the answer, but his position shouldn’t be mischaracterized.

To add a little bit to what he’s stating about what makes a person successful – a lot of it is luck/ good fortune and people around you helping you – Gladwell has also talked about the fact that you’ll be successful based on your character relatively speaking and not whether you went to an Ivy League college vs. a state college. I would imagine he’s also trying to say that character is taught and applied and not just inborn, which makes sense given the nature of human beings. This is a biblical argument given the fall of man, whether he would agree with this specific point or not. People who know that you have to stick with something for that ten thousand hours and stay positive in the face of discouragement are living a specific biblical value whether they embrace it as that or not.

I think the best part of libraries is librarians, something about that title and associated look 😉
