He is not wrong - he is simply constructing an argument that shows catering for diversity is profitable. Presumably this is to challenge the current homogenization of everything. For example, tv is shit because programme commissioners are obsessed with ratings.

nice poem, it yours? mind if i borrow it?
By: Volantix. on 25 Nov 08, 14:54:31
people are different so treating them differently makes them happy

thanks for the reference, i most definitely will

This is one of my favorite TED talks...

so, what is it? in one phrase? :]
By: mlasala1. on 21 Nov 08, 07:20:53
you people miss the point
By: edgqi. on 17 Nov 08, 17:54:30
the sauce is not the issue here
By: eltotoX. on 14 Nov 08, 14:58:45
uh... I think you got that wrong. From Barry's clip: "some choice is better than none, but from that does not follow that more choice is better than some choice". So, clearly, Malcolm reinforces this point by telling us that there isn't /one/ perfect Pepsi, but more than one, which I think was the main point in his presentation.
By: mlcrazi. on 21 Oct 08, 23:44:21
They are just commenting that another TED presenter talks about the exact opposite - how having an overwhelming number of options will make you feel dissatisfied with the choices you ultimately make. Having 35 different sauces is great assuming you already know which one you like ...
By: grantsinmypants2. on 27 Sep 08, 15:02:29
uh, isn't what Ragu was doing - recreating the authentic, Italian form of tomato sauce - truly embracing the diversity of peoples? maybe Americans should be honest with themselves. all their different types of sauce are just ways of having their American palate and Italicizing it too.
By: WarVideo. on 26 Sep 08, 20:26:01
Bullshit, choice is great, you people just dont want to think!
By: theiamania. on 25 Sep 08, 16:49:02
I was just thinking the same watching this. If I did not know better I whould think that he is so right.
By: yoyogi3. on 23 Sep 08, 18:59:02
A very entertaining and convinving speaker BUT HE IS WRONG!!!! I couldn't believe it. Check out Barry Schwartz's tedtalks clip. Absolutely destroys the idea that 35 types of pasta sauce is good for humanity ;-)
By: virtuallyskitz1. on 20 Sep 08, 15:39:28
Exactly cruelcruel. Kotesu: get a roomful of guys together who's girlfriends just broke up with them, and have them do the taste tests that Malcolm suggests. They will STILL have a variety of experiences, and desire a diversity of tastes. Whatever personal experience one brings to the table,they'll STILL be happier being there with a variety of choices.
By: Adaratalaya. on 09 Jul 08, 18:56:34
Malcolm is so interesting. Ive read his books and some of his archives and MAN! Great information.
By: richyyyy. on 06 Jul 08, 23:41:28
I entirely agree with the message that accepting diversity or delving outside of your accepted social boundaries and embracing different circumstance absolutely contribute to happiness. This lecture could have been spoken in about 2 minutes rather then 18 as the point is simple. For the people that don't understand, I think the wordiness and the numerous examples used to try to illustrate similar points prevented people from grasping what is being discussed.
By: Kommaseir. on 23 May 08, 00:16:05
Sorry to say this Kotesu....but you're comments make you seem like a stupid goof.
By: cruelcruelcruelcruel. on 20 May 08, 10:35:52
Your girlfriend dumping you would also be an external source of happiness. Instead of deciding: "I'll be happy", you've decided: "I'll be depressed/mad/unhappy". But it's based on an external source whether it's sauce, mustard, coffee, or a girlfriend. But the point seemed to be that everyone is different, and catering to differences makes the people with those difference happier than being shoehorned into generalized categories. Just the way it seems to me.

I just love love love this guy. Read The Tipping Point and his blog, gladwell dot com!

I think you missed the entire point of that 17 minute speech. Please watch it again in it's entirety. Hint: It's not about spaghetti sauce, or coffee, or how these things can make you happy.
By: Kotesu. on 26 Feb 08, 22:27:59
The point I'm trying to make is that your perspective and mentality have a much greater impact on your perception of the experience. If that's the case, then you could have the best damn spaghetti sauce on the planet but if your girlfriend dumped you, you'd hardly even notice. When you loose the dependency on external things to get you happiness, you have a type of happiness that nobody but you can take away.
By: Kotesu. on 26 Feb 08, 22:23:48
That's enlightenment? I'm not so sure. There's the assumption behind this talk that happiness is induced externally: coffee makes me "deliriously happy", a better spaghetti sauce will increase my quality of life. I can't buy that. When you're eating; try to appreciate the amount of work it takes to grow it, harvest it, ship it, prepare it and present it. Or if that doesn't work, go do heavy labor for a few hours and see how much better food tastes when you're in a different frame of mind.
