It doesn’t matter if they’re wrong. That’s what they think. And if they think that, money doesn’t flow in. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Well the money doesn't flow in as long as they think it. Which will last however long they want it to.

When you get old and wizened you'll notice the pattern whereby the VC investor types will express the same certainty about everything all the time, even when shifting their opinions 180 degrees regularly and pretending like they've held their most recent opinion the whole time.
