🌶️ Hot take
 
There seems to be a sentiment sometimes that founders shouldn't ever criticize other founders. 

There are cases where I think this is very wrong. Eg, we should particularly criticize those who are trying to bring something into the world that is harmful or zero sum. Nip that shit in the bud.

I disagree but have an alternative proposal.

First, there is already an abundance of hate from outside tech. Elon gets attacked for launching rockets. You will too.

However, I get the rationale within crypto. Still, what we want is more like star ratings and reviews of projects. Namely, decentralized regulation.

If you make a bad criticism, what is your penalty? Yet that is actually very common. In fact, the normie’s off the cuff reaction to new things is extremely hostile.

And that’s why VC is hard: good new things aren’t obvious.

Still, see below for what I *think* we want:

Building /bracket | Ex-BCG, ex-PHD | Poli Sci + Econ + Philosophy | Hosting /gray + /nfl + /dont-do-this + /book-clubs
