that is an interesting article. and i didn't know Malcolm Gladwell had taken on Milan as a subject --- i really like Gladwell's stuff, so perhaps it will be of help.
i also can't disagree with anything Dunbar says. and it's very interesting that Dunbar relates it to the culture at large, because that's what I see --- eg, from my perspective, we're in the middle of a return to authoritarianism (!!!), with negotiation down the tubes, and fear being spoonfed to us and driving our behavior. and Dunbar doesn't fit that model, while alpha rolling and the like do, at least imo.
good article - thanks for posting it!
