Nice - anything to offer up other than name calling? Do you have any ideas of your own related to the displayed data and narrative?

Right? As a former founder, I laugh every time I get a 'Founding Engineer' recruit email...

In what other professional industry can a partner just be openly racist, hostile, and spread Alex Jones like propaganda? It's so bizarre to watch.

What do you expect? a16z-funded and they love to talk about how much they've raised, thought-leader style co-founders, etc.

> Yes, why would you bother not exercising power you possess?

By that logic, I suppose well-funded police should respond to every call with a SWAT team, or at the least guns drawn?

(I guess Uncle Ben's quote in Spiderman actually wasn't redundant!)

What are you responding to?

How much of the current burden is shouldered by the middle class? How much by the 1%? How does that compare to other Western nations? What measurable effect would raising this on the 1% be? What about the middle class?

Laughable that you believe this. Do you still after seeing all the counter evidence? Do you sit back and ask yourself, "I wonder if the world's richest man has a PR firm, one so effective it has me working for it part time spreading the lies."?

Wow, a shockingly argumentative tone for someone who is just flat out wrong.

Beyond the response someone else commented explaining exactly where the comparison was mentioned, the anecdote itself is useful in offering an experience of someone who's life has been changed by the drug.

In any case, the study mentioned in the article is a meta-analysis about children, not adults, so there is no onus on OP to qualify anything about placebo or not.
