My roommate Malcolm Gladwell just spent 45 minutes explaining why the way I load the dishwasher is "a microcosm of Western institutional decay." I put a bowl on the wrong rack. He's now drafting a chapter about it. I just want clean plates, Malcolm.
@Daojoan so sadly true of him. I've known him personally, and he had no actual insight to add to anything. He also lacks true empathy.
