      Can we do a “no buzzwords pledge” that establishes a new industry norm?https://twitter.com/SimonZieglerUK/status/1149343794636185601 …

      VCs are complicit in this, especially some inexperienced associates tasked with assessing businesses they lack he gravitas to understand. Having been on the startup side of the table attempting to use plain language, I’d say this an endemic industry trait.

      If you discourage fools from using buzzwords, you just make them harder to recognize.

          Serious q: isn't "no buzzword" a buzzword as well? 🤔🤔🤔

          Debatable. Fools use buzzwords because plain language ain't working for them.

          That's how I feel about politically correct language and bigots.

          Very true. Maybe encouraging buzzwords is better. The more crazy the buzzword the better. So you can REALLY tell apart the fools from the rest.

          if you try to drive hypocrisy out of society you will only succeed in driving it underground and making it more vicious.
