Thread by @pacificleo

This Ongoing conversation on Flow Vs BaseCamp Vs Asana is a perfect case study on the complexity of how things happen in the real-world and how single-factor explanations are almost always too simplistic.

This offers a chance to talk about how to assimilate content you consume on internet , process it, and extract gasoline of knowledge from the crude oil Narrative. #badanalogy

Here @awilkinson told his version of events. tipped his hat to the winners ( @asana & @basecamp ) Then @jackiebo refuted it in the thread nested thread above 👆 Claiming there was more to Asana's success than just VC money .

ie @asana too had vision and street/geek creds. They were not just startup equivalent of trust fund kids .To be fair that's how the original thread made them look. I think it was unfair if not outright disingenuous

and then we have @dhh joining the conversation claiming @awilkinson was not true to the ideal. Conveniently forgetting that they too had investment from @JeffBezos via Bezos Expeditions. So as far as being a purist is concerned thats not true.

We are all free to choose our own narrative Every interpretation of reality is biased and partial. That doesn't mean it is educational. As a student of consumer internet that's the approach, I find to be most helpful. To read with skepticism without being cynical.

and BTW Its not like only other people do this partial/selective retelling of history. We do it too. Like this episode of @Radiolab explains we don't access memories we create and construct them wnycstudios.org/podcasts/radio…
