With people like Andreessen it's important to realize that he's saying whatever will most accomplish his goals, rather than using discussion as a method for investigating for truth.
That means there will be a mix of honesty in everything.
This fact is true of everyone to some degree, but to an extreme in Andreessen. He will not be talking to someone unless there is a specific goal around his empire. And his goals diverge from those of the random engineer in very large ways.

- epistasis 1y agoI don't know how to define psychopath, and I only know a handful of extremely rich people, but every single extremely rich person will be like this in their professional persona. And quite likely in the public persona, if they maintain one, because why maintain a public persona except to enhance professional success. Interactions with friends and family could easily be different.
