Those experts are whackadoo insane and/or on the payroll.

In this case it's Marc Andreessen. He's not on the payroll. He is the payroll.

The man with the most egg shaped head who doesn't understand introspection or thinking about.. things?

The man is actually a moron. Straight up someone who I don't think I could have a pleasant conversation with without making fun of the money man.

I can name a ton of bullshit jobs at my company. Heck, I know whole departments that shouldn't exist. But they do because some management consultant said we needed it to improve our attractiveness to investors or if we IPO or something like that. But they will cut the people that actually do the work.

Everyone always thinks it’s their job that isn’t the bullshit one.

Naa, I actually worked some of these same jobs myself and it was how I became convinced that they were bullshit jobs.
