Looking forward to "YC Makes Yummier Primordial Soup."

The comparison of the 90s to today got me started on a conversation about why the web industry is the one odd-ball tech industry where barriers of entry are abnormally low, cost of tech & services are low etc.


The headings in this article are incredible: "How The Singularity Gave Birth to Black Frankenswan"

I especially like the idea that this new species of entrepreneurs is feeding a new species of investors. I tend to think, though, that institutional investing will still be popular -- especially in later rounds, as the risk profile of investments trends closer to what big investors are used to.


Loved his Cult Creation essay. I'm sure this will create some attention.


Crazy and delicious essay.
