Sure, I get that and I am not arguing that VC is filled with highly skilled investors. I am arguing that David Sacks contributed to where he is at in life. I was just pointing out that you were selling the guy short of what he is. I have no clue how he does as a VC.

Ok, agreed. Anyways, I can see Taleb being upset though. If you consume e.g. YCombinator YT content then they‘re selling us this philosophy of future determinism and virtue. Just be brave, start a company, stare in the abyss, work hard and you‘ll be rewarded. But they can totally not know that and it‘s false.
