@unplugyourself7335 So what are you going to do with the rest of the people who work equally as hard as him, sometimes even harder but lacks that luck? Exactly when you admit that luck is necessarry and is the differentiating factors among hard working people, you literally admitted that the differentiation between him and other equally hard working people are undeserving. You have to learn to reason from your own comment, hombre. If you reason from the Physics standpoint upward, there's literally nothing more or less special about any of these people except that they were at the right place, at the right time, with right attributes, and yes, it's all due to luck, that's why initial conditions determine the solution of a physical equation. You have to learn Physics, bro, it automatically eliminates your argument of him being "more deserving" than other people just because he was successful. Now he can be a very successful person while being not that remarkable, because of luck, and he can also be very much ignorant about a lot of things, and he's showing you his ignorance right now.

It's kind of shocking how all of these tech billionaires are equally ignorant on the same social issues. As if this "ignorant" feature is universal in their circle and they're all affected by some kind of delusional effect to not notice it. Here's a clue, Fridman, having a conversation with someone on something which you know very little about, for example, "meaning of the Western civilization" is a great way to get con, and even worse, Fridman doesn't know he's getting con because he lacks the time or the heart to review the answers of the guests himself.

Andreessen is correct at some part, but he's totally ignorant at other parts. For example, yes, letting all of the criminals out of jail is a very bad idea. But no, helping the big corporations is completely not equivalent to helping the country in general, because you're having a deeply corrupt system that a while ago legalized bribery to influence governmental decisions to sacrifice the people to induce growth on comapnies. And unfortunately, Andreessen is a part of that disease and needs to be removed, he just doesn't know it yet. Woke is a horrible idea, but America's problem includes both woke and systematic corruption.

Andreessen do realize that roaring twenties was a bubble, right? And it ends with bubble being popped and dozen of millions of people were seriously hurt.

@pictzone Then either you don't know what logic means or you're equally as delusional as that guy. All logic reasoning must starts from initial assumptions. The problem with you and Andreessen is that both of you guys are assume and believe stuff which overwhelming majority of global population disagree with. For example, this whole business with Ackman abusing of monetary power to legally threaten people, mostly students. Which is a norm literally done nowhere else on Earth on this specific issue, at least in countries considered civilized, violating all sort of moral standards. So show some respect, hombre. His arguments are false because his initial assumptions are completely unacceptable, or to be more exact, it literally goes against humanity itself if you consider the term humanity to means the belief of the majority of human beings on Earth.
