- JumpCrisscross 2y agoI was asked for a list of startups that “have provided lasting real solutions and value.” I gave a list and said “pick one.” You pushed back on Deel. I pointed out why they have value. You then pivoted to the non sequitur that I “like Deel.” I pointed out that isn’t true, and never needed to be—this was never a discussion about which start-ups we want to put a sticker on. It’s a bit rich to complain about logical fallacies after throwing one out.

My attenpt to boil that down to something pithy didn't do much good, and after your response I felt like the discussion was providing more heat than light, so I used a humorous reference to indicate that I thought we were mostly naysaysing each other. You haven't changed my mind but you may have changed others' and you did make me think. Let's have an even better discussion next time.
