Also - using soylent, oculus and crypto to paint Andreesen as a bad investor (0 for 3 as he says) is a weird take. Come on - do better if your going to try and take my time.
Reading comprehension is hard. The article actually says “Zero for three when it comes to picking useful inventions to reorder life as we know it, that is to say, though at no apparent cost to his power or net worth.” It’s saying he’s a good investor in the sense of making money, but a bad investor in the sense of picking investments that change the world. Rather telling that the commenter can’t seem to distinguish between the two.
