Everyone Hates PowerPoint, so Why Do We Use it?

- PowerPoint is dumb
-
Slides are the worst way to engage an audience
- But they are low effort
- People often think in bullet points and slides are conducive towards that
-
Slide decks are pre-organized notes that can be given out after the fact
- So you don’t have to pay attention
- Building a slide deck signals, “I AM PREPARED THIS IS IMPORTANT I AM IMPORTANT”
- Working on a slide deck is a dodge to get out of doing real work
-
Slides present the illusion of consensus
