There is something religious about this. Like in Calvinism where wealth is a sign of salvation. If you keep this belief it is important to remember that it is not the case that that everyone that fails is mean. Regarding the truth. It seems to me like the underlying claim that mean people fail is sadly false. However, it's likely that there are a lot of entrepreneurs that Paul and other investors turn down that get upset and fail for lack of support. I'm sure they aren't mean people in more favorable circumstances. Also, those that are funded generally are appreciative and nice.
