"Allow me to set your mind at ease with regards to potentially questionable judgement by comparing myself to some of the greatest thinkers of all-time."
Honestly, I don't care what this guy does with his company, but it seems like a PR effort to salvage whatever reputation the Climate Company had built up before this acquisition by Monsanto.
- milesskorpen 13y ago... via a letter intended to be an internal communication? That seems a bit round-about.
- wavefunction 13y agoI'm not claiming that this was some sort of nefarious plan. It seems like this sort of PR effort might be even more important internally than externally. Presumably there are some portion of employees that are also emotionally invested in the "grand mission" beyond just being a job and interesting work. In that situation, releasing the "internal communication" just a freebie.
- jrkelly 13y agoTo be fair - he was comparing Monsanto's technology to Mendel/Einstein, not himself. I think GMO crops can fairly be described as revolutionary tech.
