"Nothing could be less aspirational" and "I think I need to wash my ears" aren't just negative, they are inconsiderate and unhelpful insults.

- radicalzebra 12y agoI think there is a problem with how shamelessly uncritical we can be, especially when imposing ourselves upon other walks of life, especially art. Startup culture should aspire to be more than a Tony Robbins convention.
- Hytosys 12y agoI wholeheartedly agree that we should be free to critique, and I think that erikschoster (see his top-level comment in this submission) did a good job being negative yet helpful. I believe startup culture is mind-numbingly optimistic, too. With that said, there's a necessary balance between being critical and being empathetic.
