    I love this thinker and writer. I could listen to him for hours. But, I have to argue that the reason countries like Canada, or Australia can keep a cap on immigration is because they are not responsible for blowing up certain regions in the world. I can't imagine my beautiful new Afghan family (the Dad worked for Americans, then had to flee for his life) not being able to immigrate here because we'd reached our quota. I'm going to buy your book, Malcolm, and hope that when I'm long gone, and my decedents have to sort through my library, my grandsons will pick this or The Tipping Point, and read.

    Isn't Canada what the so-called American Revolutionaries allowed to remain of their British Aristocratic Legacy and French Quebec of France's Aristocrat Legacy ?
    As a kid growing up on the southern shores of Lake Erie, I never really understood why the other side of the Lake was called another Country.

      Open a wikipedia page, and put in "New France", to see a map of how much of north America was originally occupied by French. You'll be surprised how much and why no mention in our average school's texts.
      British were far more ruthless than France, so the US booted their British overlords for the newly established local overlords. I can't speak for Canada, but some significant differences of their colonizing
      - France told their colonists to live with and marry the native locals
      - England sent governors and gave them large land grants, aka Land Lords, killing off native from the start. Currently lower case landlords, to tone down the class warfare visibility. Much of New England and east coast is still named after them. [Land Lord]borough, [Land Lord]ingham, etc.
      US never recovered from the Land Lord concept in its DNA - hence "housing shortage". Bizarre US (and West/Westernized) requires payment (rent/purchase/property taxes) to have your feet on the ground. A wholly unnatural state of affairs, because of arrival as colonizing.

      ​​@@buzoff4642 an addendum from Australia.
      When the Great South Land' (Terra Australis) was on the point of being 'discovered' by Europeans on the east coast of what is now known as Australia, the British were worried that the French or Dutch would beat them. The west coast had already been 'discovered' by a number of vessels from the Dutch East Indies, now Indonesia. One of these captained by Abel Tasman sailed further to the south around what is now Tasmania, the smallest Australian state.
      Captain James Cook and his vessels landed on Terra Australis at whst is now Cape York in the north on the eastern side and claimed the land from there to the south of Van Diemens Land (now Tasmania) for Britain, ahead of interested French explorers.
      When colonised later by the British the results were devastating for the First Nations of this land, with the First Nations of Tasmania being systematically and ruthlessly eliminated in various ways. Fortunately not completely.

    • @buzoff4642
      @buzoff4642 16 часов назад

      A person's academic acumen far too often has little to nothing to do with their academic being meritorious. My Asian coworkers move their households near schools rumored to be easy As, and send their kids to tutors as early as 4 or 5. Still, Dad drives to college to continue their tutoring, since Jr's nerve-racked when first flying solo without training wheels. There are many legacy admissions that are present solely due to their legacy admission, not academic acumen.
      I'm not saying everyone who went to Harvard, Brown, etc. are fraudulent idiots. The game is the degree branding, on the resume, and ego of both students and parents.
      It's not pseudo aristocracy, it's genuine aristocracy.

    The population density in Canada is 4 per Km2 (11 people per mi2). United States is 38 per Km2 (98 people per mi2). So yea, Canada is a still a big empty country. However if we compare that to the Netherlands that has 541 per Km2 (1,400 people per mi2), all of North America is relatively empty compared to main land Europe.

      However, since people are generally concentrated in cities and urban areas, it makes sense to compare the population densities of larger cities. In this comparison, New York City has the highest population density, followed by Toronto, and then Amsterdam.
      Highest Population Density: New York City (10,728 people/km²)
      Medium Population Density: Toronto (4,835 people/km²)
      Lowest Population Density: Amsterdam (3,980 people/km²)

      Which is also why England swept their streets of orphan and indigent, sending them to the colonies as indentured. They could only jail so many for "poaching" on the vast properties of the Land Lords.

    I am an immigrant myself, but I respect the places and people where I immigrated. They have the right to decide who they want to have in their country. Their country is their house and their destiny is tied to it. Would anyone like to be forced to admit in their house someone who they do not want? Or allow others to make the rules in their house that they worked hard to build? All should be a dialog and nobody should force anybody to do anything. And that suggestion that descendants of Harvard graduates should be penalized simply because their parents graduated from there is ridiculous.

    The tipping point to get Canada geese to leave is to put a certain number of swans in the lake. I wonder what Gladwell would think about Hawaii which is so multiracial it seems like almost the norm to marry outside your ethnic group.

      I don't know where Gladwell was talking about with respect to demographic rationing of neighborhoods, but it sounds wholly unnatural. But I'm looking forward to hearing how Boston's, San Francisco's and NYC's Chinatown feels about that. And Atlanta. New England - hey, all you Canadian-American, get out to make way for the Gladwell ratio.

    So sad to hear a man who is so thoughtful become unreflectively supportive of racism and racist policy. It’s sad. And shows how invidious this thought process is for people. For instance he wrote a book and chose to not even research area that don’t have bigoted policy and it works. He’s just gone sad and unquestioning. As if he had no power to deepen dialogue.
    Gladwell is not dumb so many things he says sound good and some are but the general message of control immigration because dominant culture groups got mad, as if education learning and dialogue weren’t possible, is heartbreaking. Not sure why our intelectuals in this generation are so unable to find any meaningful depth.

    He revisits the Tipping Point to sell books and for no other discernible reason. The most overrated writer of our times. A master of inflating trivial phenomena with sententious import, and bamboozling a gullible public into prizing his "discoveries" so highly that he becomes a best-selling author, recycling the same ideas into redundant books about his books. Spoiled wine into new bottles. Good formula. Maybe James Patterson should take a class with him.
