> I don't know about equal but Luckey has achieved some pretty impressive things by age 31.

Having interacted with Luckey in a number of unpleasant ways, I think we'll just have to agree to disagree.

So you disagree his achievements are impressive? That's my only assertion.

And if so, you are saying his achievements are nullified by his behavior?

I do disagree his achievements are impressive.

As near as I can tell, he is successful for advocating for VR headsets.

I do not believe that's equivalent to splitting the atom. But hey, I guess we all see things our own way.

What achievements? Is productizing something we figured out in the 90s (you can do VR with a headset using some form of magnetic tracking) really comparable to splitting the goddamned atom?

The dude's a hacker, not a god.

Don't tease me with that cliffhanger. Throw me some breadcrumbs. Do tell.
