Interesting stuff but I gotta wonder what this guy really thinks about black and Latino crime in the States, and if he's holding back on the topic for fear of having his career destroyed.
You bet.
Racial, ethnic and cultural differences are the ultimate black sheep for social scientists and genetic researchers.
They have a lingering paranoia that it's unethical to even consider differences and instead tippy toe around any findings they produce. I think it was Gladwell or perhaps another popular statistician that stumbled upon data so shocking concerning races in America that he intentionally refused to publish the results or even discuss them on camera.
I disagree with Gladwell in that cultures are malleable. Cultures can transform themselves, but to expect a culture to change is ridiculous.
Will a jetliner pilot learn to speak English if he wants to keep his job? Of course.
Is it ethical or even worth consideration to "improve" a culture through injection of xenoethnic aptitudes? Absolutely not.
Cultures will evolve as they see fit. Social engineering is no-one's business, which is why multiculturalism is a failed policy.
I told you to change the title. No upvote until it is so. Also just have to add that I hate the way this guest looks. Can't tell if he is white or black or indian or anything. Way to have an identity ya gay bitch.
Ouch, mr troll-face.
I think you guys want to say that some scientist discovered that black and latinos are inherent criminals, but is afraid to publish the data.
"Multiculturalism" is simply a rhetorical tool, until someone gives an explicit definition. So, to say "multiculturalism has failed" is to say nothing at all. What exactly has failed?
Do you really not get what he is saying? I am not sure Pprt was even alluding to race in the way you are.
I think what he means is that multiculturalism has failed in certain respects because culture is such an innate part of who an individual is that to try and meld cultures together is so radical that it almost denies the meaning of culture itself... I think.
I don't know how you guys can disagree with prof. Gladwell.
There are going to be bad and good and conditionally ambiguous parts of any culture. I personally would like to see some new ideas injected into Christian and Muslim culture. And I would like to see Asian or German work "ethic" injected into American culture. Why is this not ethical?
Race is not a made-up social construct... culture is. That's why we can change it... and that's why we talk about culture and not race.
Nobody wants a society of biological haves and have nots, so socialized access to neurotechnology and reprogenetics will be all but guaranteed. In the meantime, though, cultural efforts like those Gladwell describe are the best option we have. You might have a point in resisting those efforts, but it's not going to look like you were on the right side of history.

The topic of this vid is how cultural differences affect performance in different jobs. That's an awesome topic.
The reason people do hit upon race is because too many people abuse this notion when discussing social research, including social scientists.
Fascinating. books. I wish I could stop seeing him as CarrotTop.
I was thinking Sideshow Bob..
What he's saying here:
pilots from individualistic cultures - say german, feel comfortable telling the captain; "Your wrong! we need to check again - do something different"
But pilots from Korea feel it is rude to second guess their commander. It is a great offense to make your superior lose face.
He's saying that get's people killed when cultural respect is more important than facts.
It's not racist to say that peoples local customs prevent them from being good at tasks that require them to act 'against' their customs.
No sht. We're finally re-discovering what everyone knew 40 years ago.
It's something an entire slacker generation of illiterates, ruined by Montessori method touchyfeelyism, never learned.
Self directed "exploration" my Ass, bring back memorization and flashcards.
for the record though, i thought Blink was way better.
In a western culture I think you are more likely to identify that what you are doing is not the most productive or enjoyable method for you , which then allows you to achieve your goals/benefit society faster, or more importantly allows you to enjoy your life more.
for me the only point of existence is enjoyment + aiding enjoyment of others , so I think fundamental to that is that people are doing jobs they enjoy or find ways to make jobs they don't enjoy enjoyable.
on a separate note Do people watch documentaries about cultures and languages and they are always saying how bad it is that cultures die out It really annoys me, i think its fantastic that cultures die out , so long as we preserve A memory of that culture and lern the aspects of it that were actualy good ( which normaly hapens naturaly anny way) then its fantastic that an old culture dies out , I mean if only shitty ideas like religion would hurry up and die out. the memory of a culture should live on for ever and so long as a better culture exists the old practice is welcome to die a horable death

I gathered as much (that you're a cultural nihilist), however it is still unsettling to see it black on white.
Within the next 60 years i think its likely that people will distance themselves from there physical entity of flesh to some existent , maby we will be able to separate ourselves from our body , evan if we are still locked into our bodies i can see a large number of people exsperanceing alot through vertual reality where u interact fully with people in some invented world. its alredy happning now to some exstent with internet chat MMO,s only its just shit at the moment with exstremily limited interactivty and sences.
once we can exist outside of our born bodies race prejudice will seem Evan more absurd.

It's William Fichtner doing Art Garfunkel.
So I don't trust anything he says on the topic.
Interesting theory, but I wonder why he didn't mention the Japanese. Their language and society are _exactly_ like he described, and yet they have far fewer crashes.
go ahead and mistake a japanese person for a Korean and see what happens.
go ahead..i dare ya..
just dont be surprised if im walking very briskly in the other direction.
same with mistaking a columbian for a mexican,or belgium with french.
cultural distinctions carry with them a certain pride and this video does not indicate any racism but rather a static social order than in the case of flying a plane can do more damage than good.

I don't think he's suggesting the Japanese and Koreans are interchangeable, I think he's suggesting that their culture and language share common traits, especially with respect to the salient points of Prof. Gladwell's theory here.

Can someone unban djhenyo please? I want to downvote him too!
Definitely check out his "Outliers" book if this interests you at all... there are even cooler things he discusses, such as the "lucky" success of the Beatles and Bill Gates.
Just finished this book a couple days ago. He explains this theory much better in writing than he does verbally. Really an amazing book.

But just because they see these small minute differences that they exaggerate and through a form of tribalism, feel superior and offended if they are considered another race/culture, doesn't make them that much different. I can't tell the different between a Laotian and a Viet but they can...and to them the differences could be vast even though many of their culture is very similiar (language,foods,music). Colombians and mexicans? I dated a colombian broad and she was one of the most racist people I know...she hated Mexicans, more than rednecks do. She even disliked Argentinians...I promise you'll be hardpressed to find many differences between those two peoples. The point is, people exaggerate their differences. I dare you to compare me to a Texan...
why is it unsettling ? I don't care if black culture/skin is no longer practiced/disappears any more or less than if white culture skin color no longer existed / was practiced. just shove photographs and writings in a musiim so whatever can be learned from the past can be learned and move on.

But let's be realistic. Most Americans would prefer black skin and culture to be eradicated before white skin and culture is eradicated.

I wouldn't be surprised if Djhenyo was of Korean background and got frustrated with the topic title. I also feel that if this video had been "Why Blacks Don't Make the Best Scientists" or something like that, it wouldn't have gotten so many upvotes, no matter how gently it was argued in the video. So there's a double standard at play here too. I would love to be proved wrong though. There are probably thousands of videos online that argue that black Americans are culturally incapable of becoming good at many careers. Perhaps we can put them in the Sift and see how they fare? Heck, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have made careers arguing similar views.
Look at all the "check out this video of sexy girls!" videos that make the Top ranks of Videosift, and you pretty much only see white and East Asian women. White men are not as interested in black women as they are white and East Asian women, so how can black women possibly adapt the same culture as white men or women?
"Different cultures mean different forms of behavior"
Oh shit really?
When can I get my residency? Inshallah! What about my salary? Inshallah? And so on. The entire issue is asking the questions in way that would only present yes and no answers.
I have never heard anyone be so full of shit before. Look at the NTSB site for their review of crashes. None of them are actually caused by 'co-pilot to afraid to speak up'. Most (almost 100%) are caused by parts failure or training error:
- using the aileron on an A320 like you would in a B767 . http://www.airdisaster.com/news/1004/26/news.shtml
- Birds flying in to the engine (Miracle on the Hudson)
- Entertainment system burning up (the new entertainment system they installed caught fire, smoldered, light the 'inflamable' fire protection on fire which burned so hot it melted the flight controls)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111
- Maintenance crew not putting an engine on right:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191
- Shot down by russians:
http://www.airdisaster.com/cgi-bin/view_details.cgi?date=09011983®=HL7442&airline=Korean+Air+Lines
Also, Korean Airlines hasn't had a crash since 1999. Also, throughout the whole of the 90s (where malcom says they were the most dangerous airline) had 6 crashes. Whereas Aeroflot had 13 crashes, I mean, American Airlines (the airline not all american airlines) had 6 crashes from 1990 to 2001.
So basically this guy is using the recent plane crashes to sell his damn book. What a douchebag.
