Liberal Woke "Intellectual" Malcolm Gladwell: I Knew That It Was Wrong to Let Men Compete Against Women But I Lied and Said I Supported It Because of Leftwing Social Pressure

I'm an expert, trust me! I routinely lie about what the facts are or even what my beliefs about the facts are because I'm a coward who cannot stand the thought of being ostracized for telling the truth, but trust me anyway! I have Credentials (TM)!

David Strom comments:

Smarter people, like Gladwell, are intelligent enough to know that the "consensus" was suspect, but they have gone along because the social pressure to conform has been enormous. The same is obviously true with climate change and, most certainly, most commonly accepted opinions.

They are not arrived at through thought, but through absorption for most people. The smarter set either know that the "consensus" is suspect or they accept it as the consensus of people who are more familiar with an issue. That is why The Science (TM) is so important--it gives the midwits and relatively smart people permission to give in to the social pressure without feeling too bad about it.

Maybe he should write about how an entire society was bullied, cowed, hypnotized into believing something clearly not true... seems like a very Gladwellian topic

It does. He could write the book on cancel culture. The tipping points that drove cancellation and the tipping point that ended the whole affair.

Leftists never investigate themselves, ever.

Good Wednesday! How are you all?

I'm on day two, the hardest day, of an extended fast. So far it's fine but I know the next 24 hours are going to be filled with constant thought about food.
