The most dangerous founders are those that believe their own bs and that peddle an idea that would be so nice if it were true. Investors tend to push each other out of the way for opportunities to invest in such companies and lose all capability for rational thought.



Her TEDx video [0] makes it clear, she just believes she knows better and within an hour of any subject matter that has experts she could revolutionize their field by just thinking outside the box. The experts too limited in their thinking to see how awesome it could work lol

Her condescending attitude towards engineers and scientists, especially the bit at the end saying she can't wait to "give them the middle finger" is appalling. If she has zero charisma and zero smarts, how did she convince so many people? That's what's worrying about VC culture.


TEDx talks are mostly just feel-good nonsense. It's really disappointing how many people take them seriously.
