I didn't know that was a real thing Marc Andreesen actually said. What is up with all these psychos masquerading as humans? It's so depressing because I used to idolize folks like Andreesen, Musk, Bezos, Page, etc. Now I find them all basically disgusting weirdos. Not sure if it's a mix of having to be kinds narcissistic/psychopathic to achieve that level of success in the first place, or if being so outlandishly wealthy insulated you from normal human guardrails (probably both).
But in any case, I don't quite get how folks who work at a16z can look at themselves in the mirror everyday.
There's something about becoming rich that seems to corrupt a high percentage of people. You can tell which ones, they are the ones who keep trying to get more money.
The ones who don't get corrupted tend to live quiet lives after they reach a high level of wealth.
