I have followed Gillian Tett's article for the best part of 30 years, especially in her brilliant insightful articles at the London FT. You ALWAYS want to read what she writes because she does not just echo the prevailing narrative.
It's a saying, "ignorance is bliss". What's bliss? Depends.. some people aren't happy being or doing intelligent, just as easily as some people aren't happy being or doing ignorant. 😊
Dunbar number? Let's think of it like this 150! is a number of possible relations (that's without any "colouring" of them). In a Roman centuria there was about 80 people which were managed by a centurion but this only due to violent suppression of any voluntary conduct, so, instead of 80! one has just about a hundred and only in one direction. Did you say, madame, that Facebook (as understood as what it is on the outside) is it's own opposite (on the inside)? I would agree with this one.
Great talk and I just ordered her most recent book (Anthro-Vision), BUT I don't buy the walkman argument. It has never been a problem for companies to "compete with themselves". Take Coca Cola or any car or guitar company (2 weeks after having bought my first Reverend guitar I already started saving for my second one ;-)...) The problem only arises when none of these products are any good.
simple...they are not that smart. maybe intelligent in one area and stupid in every other. Stop trying to make something complicated that is simple. Anything that is complicated is just a bunch of easy things put together.
Or maybe give her the benefit of the doubt, instead of dismissing everything out of hand? There's nothing complicated about what she's saying and she has the observational data to back it up, too.
*grabs stomach* "Boss i got a headache."

Sometimes the hierarchy says to stay in your silo, no extra thinking from you. OK boss, as you mentally give him the middle finger.
Even if all three walkmans were competing with each other, why would it matter if all the profit went to the same company?
She is so sweet :-).

Somehow I find no trouble remembering her name after eight years. I watced this video when it was released.

I think she misspoke there and meant to say anti-Sony, instead of anti-Facebook.
Interestingly, almost ALL people lecturing on "Why Smart People Make Dumb Decisions" would never admit the same about THEMSELVES !!
