Why Do You Have to Be So Popular?
Scene 1: Autumn 2005 I’m sitting on a train with this awkward, autistic teenage boy. I was his schoolteacher, several years ago. Now I’m somewhere between his mentor, his friend and his student. He doesn’t have many other friends, which…
Who Are the Outliers?
The Pyramid Structure The vast majority of societies are constructed in a particular way and have been so in one form or another since the writing of records began. It involves having leaders, supported and advised by a cluster of experts,…
