"What Gladwell glosses over is that his chief examples are of experts in
their fields—art critics looking at what purports to be an ancient Greek
status but is actually a fake, or a tennis champion who went on to a
long career as a coach and TV color commentator being able to predict
with uncanny accuracy which of a player’s soft second serves would turn
out to be double faults. These are people who have internalized their
expertise into their subconscious minds. But I’ll be discussing normal de novo decisions by normal, non-expert people."

This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
