asciilifeform: church (evidently in some other piece, forget which) likens the vc circus to the process whereby american 'pop musicians' are industrially manufactured by, among other outfits, disney corp.
decimation: "Their [VC's] ability to coast, and to fund suboptimal founders, rests on the fact that no one is paying attention to whether they do their jobs well, the assumption being that we (technologists) will stay on their manor, passively keeping our heads down and saying, “politics is someone else’s job; I just want to solve hard problems.”"
asciilifeform: a more fanciful rumour is that the character 'launchpad mcquack' in disney's 'duck tales' cartoon - who crashes every machine he sits in - was based on herr mccain.
decimation: unsurprising given his obviously random & hotheaded nature
asciilifeform: rumour has it that he crashed virtually every machine he had the misfortune to sit in
decimation: he was in some ways fortunate to end up in the hanoi hilton
asciilifeform: consider the career of, e.g, senator j. mccain.
asciilifeform: church's version is more like 'you go to harvard if you're the billionaire's son and need to be merit-washed before being awarded your crown grant - or if you're an idiot, took bait, had parents with good credit'
decimation: asciilifeform: it's a good theory, but it pretty much goes along the lines of "you go to harvard so you can be roommates with the billionaires' son"

asciilifeform: (i haven't a more parsimonious hypothesis)
