Strong evidence in support of the theory that the effect of great wealth is equivalent to brain damage.

AGI is coming for all of us. It will write symphonies, direct movies, and author the best novels.

The only thing it won’t be able to do is VC investing, which must be reserved as a task only for the most-special people

Those famously scientific and non-artistic activities - music composition and novel-writing.

'Chaos tolerance' is a phrase like 'because of the restraining order,' when you hear it, make your exit.

He’s telling on himself - he is saying that VC is not that empirically grounded but based on gut and emotions, which means that they’re subjected to many biases

Which I don’t think is the kind of positive that he thinks it is. Read Barbarians at the Gate for eg - so much money wasted over ego trips

VC is more like throwing darts with a blindfold than 'art'

important to note that too much money=lobotomy is a theory in the same way that gravity is a theory

I do not think that great wealth made his head be that shape, but will consider evidence to the contrary.

I'd make a joke about how far up his ass this guy's head is, but then I look at his head and realize that would be a physical impossibility.

Venture Capitalist funding is the only legitimate art.

I’ll always remember what a person who used to work on Sand Hill Road told me. For every billion dollars an average VC bro has, they have wasted at minimum two to three billions of other people’s money to make that one billion for themselves.
