Either what pg considers means is radically different from what I consider mean, or we have different things in mind when thinking about success, or he lives in a different world. Several counter examples immediately come to mind, and not only in the startup world. Granted, it's probably easier today than in 2014 but still. It feels utterly naive. The whole piece. For instance: > Startups don't win by attacking. They win by transcending. Well, sure, if eliminating all your competitors by burning investor cash and if breaking the law left and right or disregarding ethics or the environment is considered transcending and not attacking or being mean. Now, maybe that stuff is considered fair game in pg's world.
