Thanks to the Guardian – Malcolm Gladwell talks to Robert McCrum The writer of The Tipping Point and Blink in conversation at The Purcell Room, London. (mp3, 36m).
Right near the end I liked the bit when Malcolm says he doesn’t believing in planning and gets a big laugh from someone in the audience (no doubt with a five year plan..).

Fractal 1 Zen 0
Something a bit pretentious wrote in 2000 on the Chaospsych listserv:
“I propose that simplicity and complexity are just one-and-the-same, there is no division, they are inter-related. That sounds a very simplisitic thing to say, I know. You gotta get fractal.” Nothing very original in that. It’s the application where the challenge lies. But I’m ‘getting’ a bit Zen aren’t I?
