Here's the talk that went along with this deck (for those who would prefer not immediately jumping to ridicule): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtM0Cjb0dEU" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtM0Cjb0dEU</a>
I love how in the slide with "It was the goose that created value", the goose has its wings raised. The goose is ... triumphant. Ascendant. Its arc is complete: after being valued at $0, the goose is recognized for the inexhaustible source of value it is. The goose is <i>vindicated</i>.<p>And finally, in the denouement, we see the goose in serene repose. "It is the Goose itself," we are told, in bold, confident lettering. <i>This</i> is what matters. Not the eggs.<p>I hope lasagnacat can come back, do a special on this, and hire John Barrymore for the narration, as a spiritual sequel to their Pipe Strip video (<a href="https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh9oLs67Cw" rel="nofollow">https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh9oLs67Cw</a>).
Back in 2014, Son also gave me a good laugh with a slide comparing:<p>> Von Neumann computer: powered by programming vs. Personal robot: powered by family happiness.

If your reaction is 'What the Hell is this?', read this for background:<p>* <a href="https://reuters.com/business/media-telecom/talk-bubble-is-an-insult-ai-says-softbanks-son-2026-06-24/" rel="nofollow">https://reuters.com/business/media-telecom/talk-bubble-is-an...</a><p>Then notice that the metal construction robot needs toe protectors on its boots.<p>Then notice that the slides have small print.
The only thing I got from the presentation is that I still underrate geese, gotta put some respect on their feathered name.
This makes me feel like a spend too much time on slides for my rinky dink enterprise software feature projects.
Pure trolling as a strategy...<p>Golden quotes:<p>"It was the goose that created value: 74 - 3 = 71"[0]<p>"Golden Egg factory inside the goose"[1]<p>0: see page 49<p>1: see page 55
Original approach for their annual shareholder decks. I liek that.
