@morten_skaaning I'm all for scamming investors, on drugs or not, but its unfortunate the scammers never do anything useful or interesting once they get their bag. Sigh.

@morten_skaaning well, there's no denying that there's assholes in this industry (though, I think less than people would expect), and there's certainly drugs (probably on par with the general population though), but I know fuck all about the money side. I'm under the impression it's the investors doing the scamming usually.

@aeva it's tricky business because truthful flipside question is something like: "how do innovative leaders, who set out to do the impossible, align workers and investors to their belief?" If you set out to do something unbelievable, how do you build trust in your mission?

If a mountain climber had to climb an unknown mountain, you'd surely expect their lifesaving gear would perform excellently on known mountains, as opposed to randomly turning into cookie dough.
