Isn't it socially healthy to have that bias though? Like working at a start up is statistically unlikely to pay off in a huge way, but ideally you want most founders to think they can do that so they'll make the attempt?


This sounds quite a lot like "trick people into taking risks I don't want to take myself", not sure that's bound to produce socially good outcomes...


That means you need to pawn off startup ideas onto people with bad risk management and invest in a bunch of them to spread out your risk.


If only there was some kind of social media devoted to gathering all those folks in one place. Oh, wait
