Against the Rules: Michael Lewis in Conversation with Malcolm Gladwell

Publicado 2019-05-31
Two of the leading thinkers of our time—bestselling authors Michael Lewis and Malcolm Gladwell—join us for a conversation about Michael Lewis’s new podcast, Against the Rules.

Everywhere you look, you find anger that is, at bottom, a complaint about fairness. Against the Rules explores the corrosion of fairness in America and around the world, and what it has done to our society, mostly without our noticing. From basketball courts to courts of law, it’s become commonplace to attack and weaken the authority of the people whose job it is to ensure fairness and make the call. Michael Lewis asks what happens when fairness can’t be enforced and what does the decline of the referee means for all of us? Are some people inherently more fair-minded than others? What happens when Americans stop believing in the authority and independence of their referees? Can it ever be regained?

  • Michael and Malcolm is an instant click in my world. Everything else can wait. Thank you!
  • Wow! You are a remarkable breath of fresh air..I consider my l life a process of constantly Learning!I read Blink and your newest book.on Strangers but truthfully watching your videos have only served to enhance my respect for your ideas..why? Because they are truth based insightful and important.for all of us..from a “dimmer view” the world is at best a “tricky place” I believe if we really HEAR when we listen and SEE when we watch your ideas can be profoundly executed..for me this has been a focused journey including “trusting” my senses..we perhaps might have gained the better tools to live more aware!

    I'm at 7:44 and had the following observation: this converstation is intellectually and personally honest, it is organic. I like that. Just saying.
  • Not sure if this would be ironic or previously done, but I would love to see Malcolm and Michael do a talk or panel on anti-intellectualism and how American culture has democratized expertise.
  • @madtitanbathos
    I'd watch them roast one another for an hour and 11 minutes.
  • @dushnozel6261
    I would pay 20 dollars just to watch a video of these two at their dinner following this talk.
  • @muoian
    Great conversation! I think I understand what the hell is happening a little bit more .

    I had someone tear down the house! We had to spend months rebuilding the house.
  • That girls' softball story is fascinating. I wish someone had a video of it.

    I only wrestled in high school and ran, so I was used to individual sports until I played Lacrosse.
  • @aishu3086
    is it just me, but did it feel like Michael L keeps interrupting Malcolm?. I can't tell if he is actually disrupting the flow or if I just love Malcom Gladwell's voice

    1. Look into Landing Signals Officers (LSOs) in the Navy 2. Consider Sid Meier’s A Memoir! in which he said he had to make games less random to appear more random.
  • @waywardmind
    Excellent discussion. My only complaint is Malcolm Gladwell being constitutionally unable/unwilling to ask audience questions. Every. Single. Time. (ref. 1:05:32)

    Maybe you big hitters could investigate ecocide? Is it happening with reputable lawyers, real results, and helping demand accountability of large corps?
