Steve Jobs seems like an obvious counterexample?
David Senra@davidsenra

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

Kids will never feel the gameday pressure of having to start an essay at 2am and finish it by 8am before the deadline. Totally lost. Absolutely no evolutionary pressure towards a clutch factor anymore.

Good god. Guy hears "total revenue to date = $5B" and "ARR = $19B" and thinks they can't possibly match. Normally I'd say "whatever" but Ed routinely shares (very very wrong) analysis of business fundamentals to his 100k+ followers, so I have to dissect this before people start taking this as gospel. For a company that's growing 10x YoY, the difference between ARR & accrued revenue is stark. Here's an estimate (I have no insider info, just based on public reports) of Anthropic's ARR each month, and why the total through the last fiscal quarter (Dec 2025) is indeed <$5B... while still being perfectly consistent with $100M EOY 2023, $1B EOY 2024, $9B EOY 2025, $14B mid Feb 2026, $19B early Mar 2026. You know how "if you put one grain down on a chess square, and doubled it for each of the 64 squares, you get an astronomically large number — 1600x the global wheat production"? Yeah, exponentials are crazy.

Friendly reminder: only 4% of startups make it to $1 million in revenue. If you get here you are absolutely crushing it.
