I was hoping that this would be about the term "unicorn", which can't go away too soon. It reflects the juvenility of the Valley, that people are too creepy-humble amount money to say "a billion dollars" (teehee!) and have to hide behind a mythical creature. It also allows VCs to hide the fact that all they really care about is money (and I don't begrudge them for that per se, but for the dishnesty around it) by making a billion dollars sound like something other than what it is. (It reminds me of "change the world" nonsense, because you'd literally have to change the world to make unicorns exist.) If what you care about is making a lot of money and nothing else, then just admit it. There's plenty of company on Wall Street for that sort of person.
Seriously, fuck this "unicorn" shit and fuck that whole culture of juvenilty that comes out of the polar vortex of immaturity called Silly Con Valley.
Speaking of unicorns, if you want something to hate for the next few minutes, watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJIBxtDUHc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMJIBxtDUHc .
