Hmmm. This comparison is really challenges me.

I liken Gladwell to other mercenary concern trolls like David Brooks.

But in my rush to defend Banksy... I realize I have no idea who signs his checks. His schtick could also be just another troll. Bread and circus to keep the hoi polloi complacent.

Indeed, how could Banksy not be? Either by default or by design, result is the same.

Thanks. I relish these types of conundrums.
