    https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/plunging-early-stage-deals-talent-exodus-2016-year-tatjana-de-kerrosEND OF THIS WAVE OF OVER-INVESTMENT?

    We should perhaps note that the Bay Area over invested in highly speculative consumer-mobile momentum plays while the regions that invested in revenue producing products and services for consumer, business, medical, and finance were less heavily affected. The bay area venture markets, like the media business, is as much a victim of anchoring (fighting the last war) as is anyone else. Moreover the rest of the world has not adopted what we call the Hollywood Model for a good reason. And I am fairly certain that (as a follower of these trends) they are unaware that they have adopted the Hollywood Model.

    So between Fighting the last war (anchoring), Speculation on Consumer Momentum (the consumer/mobile bubble),

    We spent the 00’s converting a century of accumulated media into consumer goods, and it collapsed. We spent the 09-16 era providing seniorization of features previously affordable only with dedicated IT servers and staff, to consumers and SMB.

    The next era will be one in which the underfunded and antique technology of the enterprise is replaced by enterprise products that operate as do consumer products.

    But I suspect there will be a long pause here as globalization returns to nationalism around the world, and the primary competitive difference is no longer movement into the consumer class, but price differences caused by differences in formal institutions.

  • Attack on Profit Seeking using Virtue Signalling by an Ex Prostitute

     [A]TTACK ON PROFIT SEEKING USING VIRTUE SIGNALING BY AN EX PROSTITUTE
    (choice quotes for your rhetorical armory)

    a) Author’s article is nothing but an act of personal promotion for drumming up business by yet another western example of pretentious virtue signaling. It is another kind of whoring. But in the end whoring none the less. The selling of false-virtue lies, rather than false-sex lies.

    b) People sell all forms of entertainment that are contrary to life’s evidence.
    People pay for all forms of entertainment that is contrary to life’s evidence. Sex is just one more of them. alcohol, drugs, movies, literature, media narratives, and pretentious virtue signaling are but a few examples of them.

    c) People buy, sell, and tell themselves and each other pleasant lies to make their tedious boring unexceptional lives tolerable. And we are happy to buy and sell this bits of nonsense.

    e) Voluntarily exchanged payments for such entertainment are much better than the alternative: sexy obtained by violence, entertainment by subjugation, and sustenance by enslavement and parasitism. Alcohol, storytelling and prostitution in all the various forms of paying women for sex one way or another are as old as human existence.

    f) The waitress who smiles at your imbecilic wit, the shopkeeper who treats you with undeserved respect, the marketer who promises you feelings beyond your natural means, the politician who panders to your failure to mature into a productive adult. None of these differ from the prostitute who tells you that you’re attractive and she’s pleased by your company.

    Liars all. Virtue Signaling included: our most fashionable current form of lying. These various fictions are a creature comfort we use to make the daily evidence of our personal irrelevance tolerable. Do not begrudge people fictions purchased in trade. They are far better than truths obtained by violence and conquest – which was the norm throughout our history.
