No you're pointing to the logic of the argument which the parent doubts, and indeed doesn't seem to be that much of a statement very few people agree on.
If you read my comment again, I was referring to why that needs to be followed with "anti-democratic political right wing" and his ties to Trump. What does that actually have to do with the topic of the best interview question and the poor example. The point doesn't change just because the one making the example is of any particular conviction and has no relevance to the topic.
- eesmith 5y agoWhy are Theil's views on an appropriate interview question of any significance whatsoever?
- dgellow 5y agoHave you read the article? Thiel quote is from there, it's the answer he gives to the "single best interview question" (as named by the article. I personally strongly disagree).
- eesmith 5y agoI see you did not read my g'parent comment in this thread, wherein you can see I read it. notapenny questioned the relevance of SideburnsOfDoom's reference to the 'anti-democratic political right wing'. I mis-read it as notapenny not following the earlier part of SideburnsOfDoom's comment. notapenny corrected my mistake. I suggested SideburnsOfDoom's comment is still reasonable because we also have to ask why there's a link to a discussion of Thiel's views in the first place. For examples: were he a Joe Blow, would we even be talking about it? How does his fame and wealth connect to his beliefs and action plans and to the type of people he wants to hire? Does future discussion of his views, w/o further context, unduly raise his fame or whitewash his views?
- notapenny 5y agoLol, yeah that's a good question. I guess that goes for just about anything including our thoughts on the topic. I guess that's up to the reader.
