It mocks -- in peak Millennial Humor fashion -- a major contributor to the tech industry and tech culture. If you don't like his opinions, the honorable response would be to debate those opinions, not attempt (poorly) to make a joke of the man over an inherited, immutable aspect of his physiognomy.
This man and those like him will never have to work again in their fucking lives. They will want for nothing. The world is effectively their theme park. Surely they can bear the psychological weight of mild mockery.
If you've read Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, think back to the character of the knight:
> And though that he were worthy, he was wys, And of his port as meeke as is a mayde. He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde In al his lyf unto no maner wight.
He nevere yet no vileynye ne sayde -- he has never said a villainous word -- in al his lyf unto no maner wight -- in all his life to any kind of person.
One should aspire to be more like a knight and less like a jester.
They will still sleep comfortably on their satin sheets and often badly need a reminder to be wise and meek themselves. Most of them started out like regular humans and can probably be prodded to recall what was like before they were raptured into places where their billions are normal.
There, I used Andreeson's ideas so you can understand it.
And much like his ideas should be mocked and ridiculed, the man behind those should be mocked and ridiculed as well.
It's about time we stopped treating rich retards as visionaries just because they are rich.
It’s good to chuckle every once in awhile and I hope even Marc Andreessen gets a laugh when he sees this.
People like you seem to think people earn some sort of 'indulgence' because of past achievements. They don't.
People like Andresseen, Musk, Thiel have all earned their infamy. It's up to them to change our minds, not us to moderate our opinions.
