I applaud @HarryStebbings ambition but I totally disagree with his conclusion. Venture capital does itself no favors with an all-or-nothing mindset. This week I celebrated @Olo's $2B acquisition by Thoma Bravo, two years after its NYSE IPO and 20 years after I first invested.
Venture investors are going through an existential crisis. If you are not in the OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Mercor etc etc you do not fricking matter.

A meta-analysis of 71 studies and 98,000+ people has confirmed what everyone's been feeling: Consuming short-form content (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) leads to a shorter attention span. If you want a longer attention span, consume more long-form content. AKA read more books.
