> What kind of bubble are the founders living in?
The article points this out: both come from families owning sweatshop^W factories, so that's the bubble. They probably were applauded by their fathers for the good idea and execution.
- ryandrake 2y agoBut they at least went through a slightly-diverse undergrad university (Duke) and hopefully didn't spend it insulated from different kinds of people. Out of the thousands of students there, all of their friends happened to also be sweatshop heirs? I guess I just don't understand how someone, who's not royalty, can become a grown ass adult, never having had made friends with or developed at least some kind of empathy towards people unlike themselves.

Maybe they got a bunch of views but the ones that fit their current purview prevailed. >never having had made friends with or developed at least some kind of empathy towards people unlike themselves. people throw around the term too loosely nowadays, but psychopathy/sociopathy can be a legitmate explantion. Supposedly, CEO's have a disproportionately high amount of sociopathy. I wonder if its something you can develop from environmental factors?
- darkwater 2y agoI think it's rather a form of "natural selection", you have to be a sociopath to be successful in a pond full of other ruthless sharks.
