Outliers
Buy Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell on Amazon
I believe, and so it's even... didn't Malcolm... didn't Malcolm Gladwell write something which was roughly the equivalent of like you're better off getting the top 10 student at a non-Ivy versus like the 50th student at an Ivy or something? I don't know; there was like something like maybe it was like a chapter?
One of the hosts, Jason Calacanis, refers to a concept discussed in Malcolm Gladwell's work, particularly mentioning how a top student from a non-Ivy League school might outperform a mediocre student from an Ivy League institution. This idea suggests that in real-world scenarios, the quality of education and the student's abilities can matter more than the prestige of the institution. The mention is not a direct review but a casual reference in a broader conversation about educational performance.
