Do you need a high IQ to work in VC?

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand venture capital. The decisions are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of community-adjusted EBITDA most of the investments will go over a typical banker's head. There's also the partners' nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into their theses - their personal philosophies draw heavily from the idea that the world is inevitably heading towards a boring dystopia where you will own nothing and be happy, for instance.

The VCs understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these decisions, to realize that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Masayoshi Son's genius unfolds in the form of WeWork, OYO, and Better.com. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

And yes, by the way, I DO have a Marc Andreessen tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
