Once again Boz has been reading a bunch of pop philosophy books and the press team left him alone with the press again.
He _may_ have made some excellent choices with oculus (price, formfactor feature tradeoff). However he still hasn't grasped the basics of communication.
His internal posts are long, rambling and at a tangent to the point he's making. Someone told him once that allegories in stories can be more effective means for communication. Either no one has told him he's doing it wrong, or no one who he respects has. more importantly the point hes making is normally painfully reductive, despite the 8k words implying its well thought out.
The core problem is that he honestly believes that facebook has done the best it can. He is firmly of the school of thought that he and his team can do anything, and do it better than anyone else.
The problem is, he can't do communication, and it shows. Worse still he can't empathise with the "other side". I don't mean sympathise, I mean mean understand why they are thinking the things they are.
- wiz21c 5y ago>> basics of communication. It's not communication. He's got a big role at FaceBook and FaceBook is a big company. They cannot escape their social responsibility anymore. Hiding behind "freedom of choice, of individual, etc." is simplistic. But sure, with that kind of mind, FaceBook will continue to make piles of money.
