I'm amazed that this jackass who ran TWA into the ground still has so much staying power. http://www.businessinsider.com/marc-andreessen-carl-icahn-ki...

I totally agree with your assessment of Icahn. Andreesen's no saint however, he supports government spying and trampling of civil rights for his personal gain.
What, you're only allowed to learn from failure in Silicon Valley?
TWA wasn't a failure for Icahn. He made hundreds of millions of dollars by selling its assets to pay himself.
A win for them (Icahn and Andreessen) is measured by their wallet not about the societal impact.
We shouldn't confuse what normal people consider success to be with with what a sociopath considers success.
As long as you have massive amounts of money you'll always be relevant.
