@mmasnick HUBRIS. He is a brilliant guy, but far from perfect.
Did you know he was an close adviser to Elizabeth Holmes & Theranos during her rise? She is apparently godmother to one of their kids. Smart thing though (from what I can tell) Andreessen/Arrillaga never invested in Theranos! My guess is that they knew EH was a fake, justifying it as a Silicon Valley badge of honor: "Fake it until you make it!"
Wonder if Marc called in favors with Jack Dorsey. You know, hold down the noise...
@JillianMHurley I don't get it...why is "woke" considered a bad thing? The term has been weaponized, yes? Doesn't woke also mean "aware"?
I understand that authoritarians (political, religious, etc..) don't like it when people they want to rule over become "aware".
Am I understanding this correctly?
