I still rank this dude alongside Gladwell as far as pop pseudophilosophers go. Pretty amazing dude if you agree with his stances and are alright with flimsy premises and assumptions I guess. Since I feel like he really agrees with the outcomes he works backwards from, he has an edge over Gladwell as a non-con artist so he has honesty (or at last perceived honesty) on his side.
