I thought this was a great piece, and I too wish that more founders recorded themselves to watch later. I've definitely wanted to shake more than a few prospective founders and say "DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?" Some commenters here have suggested that founders self-destruct because to self-destruct is to be human. I think that's glib - founders seem to self-destruct more frequently than the norm, probably because founders are crazy people. That's not all bad, I think you have to be a bit crazy to want to change something significant about human behavior, but I think it's important to acknowledge one's own motivations.
