Conjoined Triangles of Success 

but now they teach it at howard! Also, Merry christmas

and then he literally becomes a hostage because of it. so funny

Nice explanation. Never thought of it like that.

That's such a good observation, makes it even funnier!

And literally building 😂

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not just impressed, but surprised that it was pointed out.

why is it funny? cause nobody gets the angle they wanted?

He's so proud Richard pointed it out lol

The funny thing is if he had left out the last question out of his Google monologue, it would have been a pretty good speech.

​ @jkta97 It still was a pretty good speech because Tobo is just that good

But you did

@@omkarbhambure9530 Yes, I did. And now, they teach it at business schools.

I love the actor's delivery of that line as well

Advertising! Advertising! Advertising! Why build a product when you can sell it beforehand? Why hire engineers when you can hire managers? And if that doesn't work out, and the project fails, you can fire everybody...:D

The higher your level of business education the more simplistic and abstract become the teachings so you soon get to the level of kindergarten or you're drawing boxes and telling people to stay in or outside the box.

Honestly, any field where the emphasis becomes about teaching theory will find a place within the conjoined triangles. I have seen some *crazed* diagrams supposedly supporting best practice, usually pushed by someone with third-hand experience.

Also was great in Californication among other things

"I never said Sammy Jankis was faking..."

I agree. Saw that first hand. What I do not like is that rollercoaster story telling. Every time they fail they succeed. Every time they succeed, they fail. It‘s boring.

​@@hatersgonnalovethisIt's more realistic that they stumbled into success, or as you say that every time they failed - they succeed, and vice versa. They were inexperienced and naïve - regardless of how talented or revolutionary were their ideas. Really makes Gavin's character stand out from the rest, he kept the company alive in such a rapidly evolving field. I wouldn't exactly call him a good leader or good investor or visionary, but playing by the rules only moves people towards short-term goals and success. It also shows how a single person isn't enough for long-term success in such field, and the importance of having rivals instead of friends.

Yeah it's hip and yet also perfectly captures a semi-banal fall from grace. The colors and the stiff pace of walking through the data center was also pretty great!

Funny thing, I went to business school and they actually teach this kind of shit there.

There are plenty of smart people who haven’t done an ounce of application of any theory a day in their lives. They are smart, but a lot of times lack real world context that is really important when it comes to decision making.

@@Dheeidjdndbd the thing is he has like 20+ years of experience in consulting. but he never worked at a big firm, he started his consulting practice after his PhD and just stuck with it. im not gonna lie it all sounded like mumbo jumbo to me lol.

@@dixonyamada6969 exactly he consulted but never actually did any of the in the weeds shit to implement this stuff. He would go in and say “you need a team who does x. And fire y people here” but was never an operator so he doesn’t understand the knock on effects well enough to make the best decisions in a real world environment as opposed to an academic vacuum.

Bro, econs also full of sh*t, especially the macroeconomics part. But yeah math is way better

Im glad we all agree Mathematics wins

@@highviewbarbell with no application, math is pointless

@@xandercrews4729 the math for computers was worked out like a hundred years before we could make them. Then, when we could, the math was already there waiting.

Economics was my fave business class, finance was second because it's so useful. I hated Marketing LOL

It is a scary world out there

From some perspectives, it’s the right concept

People do the same thing. We all want the cheapest possible price in whatever we buy.

@@latinolawdog5067 this is the kind of rhetoric that eventually devolves into “At the end of the day, nothing really matters so why not!”

@@steverogers7601 it’s not “rhetoric”, it’s human nature. You want to a.) make the most money you can in your job while b.) paying the least money you can in everything you purchase. I GUARANTEE you have never once in your life looked at an item and said “kind sir, I want to pay MORE than what you are asking for that product. I do not want to pay the cheapest I can get it, I want to pay more than what is necessary! 😂” Does that make you “cheap as fuck” and “selfish”? Of course not. It makes you human. If you ever run a business, you would do the exact same thing. This whole “‘rich and powerful people are keeping us down, brooooooo” bullshit you are spewing reeks of somebody who doesn’t have the talent, drive, and initiative to get ahead in life and resorts to jealousy in snide RU-vid comments to cope. Pretty sure this is the case with you, I’m sorry. Take care.

Yeah but every single time he turned down more and more money led him to the final ultimate choice where he had to destroy his baby instead of becoming super rich off of it and destabilizing the world. They had to be the ones to make that choice. Anyone else might have gotten it wrong. - mordin

@@davidmassey5448 Yeah but at the end of the day, if they didn't do it, someone else would.

Offer me two million dollars for anything and I'm taking that deal and vanishing to a small home in the countryside to spend the rest of my days doing part-time contract work on my own terms and never fucking with anything ever again.

⁠​⁠@@DevoutSkepticthat’s been the most common excuse for shitty behavior since the dawn of man. We’re all responsible for our own choices, nobody else’s

@@wesspect If you don't have that attitude, you'll go out of business. It's dog-eat-dog.

You can't make that shit up!!!

You need to work up starting at the foundation of the conjoined triangles of success

Oh wow. It is him

You should show him the triangles of success

Because their conjoined, they form a square. And the people who build the Conjoined Triangles of Success will be working in cubicles. It almost writes itself.

In a sense, all of the characters are stereotypes observed from people who used to work in tech, not surprising that they'd resemble some famous ones, though I get more of aa Bill Gates vibe from this guy

It's more Steve Balmer
