Furkan's Bullshit Detector
Share
A story about how Shaan identified and presented one team member's unique superpower during a company presentation.
"When I talk to Furkan, it's almost like he's allergic to bullshit. You know when someone's allergic to peanuts, you can't even have a peanut dish or feel comfortable taking peanuts around them because you might kill them? That's what it's like when I bring bullshit around Furkan. I don't even feel comfortable saying bullshit around him because he's so good at seeing through it and saying 'that doesn't make sense' or 'wait, I thought you said this other thing, so how could both of those be true?'
He's allergic to bullshit - that is his superpower. He just can't stand it, and because of that, it makes the rest of us up our game and not bring half-baked plans or incongruent, illogical plans to him because he'll sniff it out in a second."
