I'd encourage you to listen to his georgetown talk. He admits his vanity and talks about how those things seeped into the show.
It actually made me think of startups and raising money. Person after person after person asking questions, making suggestions, framing questions that have really detailed answers, but sometimes it is easier to nod and be seen in a better/bigger light than to clarify.
- MartinCron 15y agoThanks for the heads up. I'm eager to hear the Georgetown talk now. In most contexts, I don't have any trouble with vanity. If you need to stretch the truth to make a better stage show or memoir, that's great. I loved "The Social Network" even though I knew that a lot of the story was stretched to fit a traditional film narrative. I'm OK with that. The only thing that really went wrong was when he let his story be presented in the wrong context, and how he deliberately misled the TAL folks during fact checking.
