make me wonder about Paul Graham
I think this list is due to Sam Altman. He has written about wanting to fund breakthrough technologies, and shortly after he became Y Combinator president they invested in a fusion energy company.
Well, that would explain why the list ignores Paul Graham's advise of investing in fields one understands.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
