@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'm just wondering if there are any inputs to the goose system or if it is a perpetual egg laying machine

@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. 🙂
