Comment on The destruction of 3D printing: Bloomberg is behind it
tristynalxander@mander.xyz 1 week agoI heard one of the Green Brothers claim that billionaires tend to develop really strange out of touch opinions. To me, they often seem a mixture of stupid and self-serving. I suspect any actual laws will be undermined within a month, but it’s really annoying that these people keep sticking their nose in other people’s business.

I’ve worked directly with some startup founders and they tend to not understand selection bias very thoroughly. Rather, they see themselves as inherently smarter than other people and eventually they determine that all the decisions they make must be the right ones. Even when their success is very obviously luck they eventually start to think as of they have an infallibility field around them which drives some extremely odd behaviors.

That makes a lot of sense and is also really frustrating. You had some luck in life and so everything you think must be absolutely correct.
