The mentioning of school slights and "failures" seems disturbingly petty. It concerns me that someone remembers this kind of stuff as some sort of personal failure. He didn't "fail", as much as his 18 year old self did or was just unlucky. What does that matter?
I felt the same. The presentation is innovative and impressive (for sure a SUCCESS), but I do not feel like there's anything broadly meaningful in the content and the whole thing feels like a massive exercise in namedropping.
Yep. Marketing yourself as partly a failure when you have managed to do so many projects in the first place feels off. A true failure page would be an empty page, just of sadness. Yet not only does he have many projects, but also multiple big successes.
