Isn't it exactly the other way around? Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg have a reality distortion field. The outliers in entrepreneurship sell a new world that they are going to create. When Elon Musk started talking about electric cars and space travel to Mars 99% of the people thought he was batshit crazy.

I'm referring to the outliers among that group. The first level of outlier is being successful. The second level of outlier is being full of self doubt and successful

Could you give some examples of these outliers?

I do not know any successful entrepreneurs that project vulnerability nor self-doubt. For a VC's that's a big no no. So you have made me curious and this is a sincere question.

I dont actually know of any off the top of my head, which is the point of my post. Successful, self doubting entrepreneurs seem rare, successful high arrogance researchers seem rare. I can think of a few executives that seem like decent people, but I cant think if anyone that doesnt act like they know all the answers
