@dev this may be the best slide deck of all time
@dan @dev "goose was not valued" is what I'll mutter from now on when leaving faculty meetings
@regehr @dan @dev say what you will about Masayoshi SON, the man knows how to value a losing goose. Never met a bad bet he could walk away from.
@regehr @dan @dev thank you for linking the deck this is amazing boomer brainrot
@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I saved this same slide. Inspiring. 😂
@spiegelmama @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev No one can say that Softbank hasn't laid some big eggs over recent years.
@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I'm just wondering if there are any inputs to the goose system or if it is a perpetual egg laying machine

@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev

But whose eggs are they? WHOSE?

@MBridegam @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev the syndicate makes the profit but everybody has a share

@MBridegam @aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev It's from Catch-22, by Joseph Heller.

One of the plots involves someone buying eggs at 5c each, and selling them at 3c each, for a profit of 2c per egg.

@MBridegam @aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev no goose, only value
- capitalist, probably
@aburka “Il faut imaginer que l'oie est heureuse.”

@nuthatch @aburka omg that is gold for those who get it.

At the risk of explaining the joke, it's very nearly the last line from a book by Camus that aims to answer the question of whether life is worth living: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Myth_of_Sisyphus#:~:text=The%20essay%20concludes

The essay concludes, "The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy."

However, l'oie (the goose) has been substituted for Sisyphus.

@stylus I loved this take by @aburka and appreciate you taking time to explain my silly joke
@stylus @nuthatch @aburka brilliant, thank you for explaining!

@stylus People around me are talking about 9/11, and the juxtaposition is fun. 🙂

@nuthatch @aburka

@shadow53 @aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev the gooseposting will continue until value improves
@shadow53 @aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev can I print this on a uniqlo tshirt?

@meowki Yes, and you must.

For you see, Uniqlo shirt does not print Uniclo shirt.

@shadow53 brb, changing my error 403 page
@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev "GOOSE VALUE 71" is gonna become a meme on t-shirts. Omg, meme creator was not valued....
@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev it's important to account for the eggstra value
@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev lol thanks, I needed that cramp I’m my side from laughing too hard. No wait, I mean I didn’t need it. But thanks anyway.
@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I'm ganna share this meme with others who have no idea what it's associated with. People are going to be very confused.
@aburka @SnoopJ @dan @dev I think it works same as tomatoes
@regehr @aburka @dan @dev when you definitely, positively understand both yields and tomatoes
@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev do golden eggs also develop into geese with internal mechanisms though
@aburka @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev Yes, all the golden eggs develop this way. Honest, guv.
@SnoopJ @regehr @aburka @dan @dev simply harvest 3.9 million tomatoes and sell them for $1 each!
@tedmielczarek @SnoopJ @regehr @aburka @dan @dev Former tomato greenhouse farmworker here. I have questions.

@mconley

Have you worked there for at least 2 years? If yes, geez, you must be rich!

@tedmielczarek @SnoopJ @regehr @aburka @dan @dev

@SnoopJ @regehr @aburka @dan @dev Also, when you definitely understand that immigrants magically don't exist or need to be paid but their labor still exists for free or maybe you think tomatos are like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and they'll pick and plant themselves in those field for you or something.

@regehr @aburka @SnoopJ @dan @dev

"Plant the tomatoes on whose land, Nick? Whose land?"

PS: Land ownership is a concept with some interesting looking challenges from Georgist economics. I like the notion of abolishing it and supporting ownership-like land use by renting land from everyone else.

@eswag @regehr @aburka @SnoopJ @dan @dev

Or with some Indigenous systems, where residents are owned •by• the land.

@regehr @aburka @SnoopJ @dan @dev this man does not understand acreage, transportation, or tomato buying reticence
@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev I'm a boomer by dint of birth placement. This isn't attributable to me.
@SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev As long as the goose can keep laying golden eggs, it doesn't matter whether golden eggs are a thing you need or not
@mcc @SnoopJ @regehr @dan @dev the actual value comes from belief that the eggs are golden. The Golden Egg factory was inside us all along.
