The piece fails to zoom out and ask, "Why do Sams keep happening?"
It's more difficult to live with the answer than it is to arrive at the answer:
VCs love single-vision, "we're going to change the world"-type leaders.
The problem this group has, correctly identified by the author, is naïveté, narcissism, seeing people as a means to an end, and an ideology that distorts their reality. These types[1] really get VCs excited, get loads of funding, and then crash an burn.
Kinda sucks this best we can do. I had higher hopes for humanity. I thought we could change the world.
