When I was a Director at Yahoo! during the internet boom in the late 90s, I sat next to Yahoo! co-founder Jerry Yang for about a year, and aside from an incident or two which are not relevant to this story, he seemed like a pretty decent guy.
However, that’s never been the case in the internet industry as a whole. There have always been insane people all over the place. That kind of goes along with risk-taking. And probably overall it’s been a good thing. Maybe if Yahoo! had turned out to be a little less risk-averse, it would be even more of a giant now in many different areas than it was back then, and not, sadly, exist now in name only. But, having a lot of crazies around with millions to burn also means there’s a whole mess of people who — as the mildest possible example I could think of — will be literally mailing out pieces of their shit to shady labs to find out how to live to 150.
Part of it is they just have so much money, after they get through all the obvious (cars and homes and jets and stuff), they really dont know what to do…
