Extrtemely weirdly informative and interesting discussion of Silicon Valley cultural sets, gambling, long term vision, and politics… Well worth a read both for chortles but also to water deeper roots in your thinking.
My older brother (founded 5 corporations, two wildly successful, two meh, one disaster) is a Stanford Research Institutue, Silicon Valley type. The article helped me understand him and myself.
As just about all of Ezra Klein’s podcasts are. This one is no different.
He’s a great interviewer and elicits great answers through incisive, contributory questioning. Always a go-to podcast for me.
