What calculation? What's the formula that gives you the odds that your Ponzi scheme will be discovered? What can possibly "model" that, aside from a scifi-level reality simulation? It's not even math, it's math LARPing.

Yes, I feel so cheated that all I needed to do to get money for my ideas was to just talk like an ayn rand novel protagonist. At least Zuckerberg did all this but was legitimately a genius. Made sense that bankers put up with that shit cos they could tell he was smart af. But when you’re larping to be a banker like most VCs are, you’ll just copy what they did like a monkey without understanding why they did it. And I wasn’t there to part their money from them. Fml.
