She seems to think that venture capital and academia are everything. Although I resonate with many things being a scam or a hustle, not everything is. There are plenty of real people doing tangible jobs that need to get done. She may have gone into school with a notion that academia + whatever I decide to learn = success. Perhaps she had the idea that she'd like to be a venture capitalist because venture capitalists can earn a lot of money.
She failed to realize that capitalists who venture their capital in a startup in exchange for stake equity do so with their own money. So she'd have to start wealthy to have the money to invest. She put the cart before the horse. The best she could do is strive to become an associate for a venture capitalist. Ideally, this person would have a good eye for recognizing successful businesses before they become successful.
I feel bad for her because the chances are she went and enrolled into some training to become a VC, and it probably wasn't explained to her how unrealistic the goal is if you don't have money from the start. I'd concede that most of academia, especially nowadays, is on a par with predatory lending. Even though the collegiate institution is not the lender, they're selling the pipe dream and steering people to the lender. In a day in age where race and gender studies abound, trade schooling is more likely to lead to a successful career path.
Guy is very wealthy and also the founder
of Social Capital (a VC firm), perhaps he can
be the change he wants to see and demonstrate
the merit of his style in the way he does business.
If he sets a new standard others will follow suit.
LOL, he had to mention "they are all men,"
then say he wants to be one of these men.
Some Aids skrillex undertones in that.
White male accuses white male of being
white and male and Atlas be like (ツ)_/¯
Not saying he's wrong about the world
being run by a handful of people thou.
Just don't call it a male problem and
then offer as a male to jump into the
frey to fix it if male was a problem.
i can't understand what that lesbian is yelling about
Yeah, who knows. It's probably a bunch
of race and gender identity bullshitaki.
Why do you imagine they're so distraught ?
A "white male" espoused his opinions
that ran contrary to their programming
causing their identity that they derived
from a very expensive education to get
challenged. Ultimately, anger at tens of
thousands of dollars having gone to
to waste if they allow his freedom of
thought to exist in a public area.
Bahh, this guy's anti-white sentiments
are racist AF. He comes off so ignorant.
The hasty generalizations abound. The
sample size of billionaires are too small
to blanket cast these attributes on an
entire race of people. Most folks are,
in fact, not billionaires. If 90% of
domestic extremists from the 90s
wore blue jeans, then are people
who wear blue jeans terrorists?
Does it mean that only 10% of
people who wear blue jeans
are not terrorists? Does it
matter we're in the '20's?
did you happen to notice what they said about bitcoin ?
Something about it destroying the financial system, which in theory sounds good, but I've heard information that the circumstances around BTC are firmly under the control of large centralized money powers. I don't know how much of that is true and am well out of my league with regards to BTC crypto politics.
