        Well, if you want to sound academic, and important, you have to invent serious sounding labels for things.

        Matthew I don't think anything is demolished here. These kinds of shorthand for aspects of individuals' personal rules for living can be really helpful in the right contexts. Also they are not just academic but practical and usable in therapy etc.

        That doesn't seem like "demolition". It seems like they wanted succinct terms to refer to specific common things. Medical researchers also name diseases that they research, but that doesn't imply that those diseases were unknown before then. Same for social psych.

        Research/academia does have a tendency to name things that are already known, but this is usually just to save time when talking about it. PTSD is easier to say than "that thing that soldiers get sometimes (but also other people too)", for example.

        Ouch! 🤣 "Rather than offering made-up rules and biases and effects, Gladwell has chosen to issue a plea, asking that we recognize how difficult it is for us to understand one another."

        Sophistry doesn’t “demolish” anything other than what a biased reader wants demolished.

        Deconstructing axioms as if centuries of human observation don't "translate" is as effective as looking all around us, taking in the natural world, and declaring there is no evidence of God.

        The absurd basis for ‘poets commit suicide at quintuple the rate’ is just astonishing.
