Hey, since no one else is bringing up the "citation please" criticism of the post, I will. Sorry, but it's just a dumb thesis, asserted in utter confidence. The evidence to support it would be something along the lines of an inverse relationship between a measurable aspect of intelligence and a measurable aspect of startup or other life failure. Intuitively, I highly doubt such a relationship exists. Otherwise, the article is basically making the observation that being "successful" in business is generally hard. But it's the internet, you can say whatever you want!
