@GS_VCactivist@wolfejosh Precisely, same as how the other guy got elected into the highest office in the country, it's all an FU to the "elites." And the horseshoe theory is on display here: the crazier the better, doesn't matter if left or right, because it's an irrational tantrum-protest.
@reformedbear25 @lambda_thoughts@mist8ker@hamptonism Not necessarily. He could have hated doing science, especially in academia. Free will is a great thing.

@lpolovets@paulg@naval If I tell you that I don't WANT to work >40 hrs/wk but end up working 100 hrs/wk because shit needs to be done, then your belief is equally useless. Look at the track record, don't believe anything being said, a lot of people overpromise and underdeliver, others do the opposite.
@gregisenberg It's true about any company with external capital that controls votes, not just VC-specific. Want to stay independent never sell equity then.
