The Online Right’s New Intellectual Crush

People on the internet like to be mean to venture capitalist Marc Andreessen. At least the poor man doesn’t dwell on it. Last week, on the Founders podcast with David Senra, Andreessen boasted about his “zero-introspection mindset”. He cast himself as akin to the great men of yore: “if you go back 400 years, it would never have occurred to anybody to be introspective.” Marcus Aurelius? St Augustine? Napoleon? Hamlet? Another round of online mockery came thick and fast.
