I laughed so hard at 16:20 when he has to catch himself in staying his opinion of NASA. I have colleagues who couldn’t more excited to work for NASA and we’re just not the same breed. All I see is bureaucracy and a lack of commercial innovation. A company like Varda is clearly just the opposite. Really got my eye on these guys.
It's always the same thing, MIT, Stanford, Harvard... showered in money by VC. He had a failed startup, worked in music and then started a defense company ? I don't even understand what guys like him bring to the table. The amount of privilege is staggering
I am usually not into stereotypes. But this guy is the perfect representation of SV stereotypes. Zero originality and zero thinking out of the box. And on top of that he is trying too much to make it sounds like he is special. He is just a normie in the very well structured ecosystem. It just reminds me of how traders were so full of themselves before Subprime mortgage crisis.
Privilege??!! You are insane. This guys is coming from Bulgaria. No privileges, he had to study and fight more to be there. And there is no problem to have mistakes if you move on and do next thing. The only problem with failing and making mistakes is not to learn from them!

The sound cuts out from 1:21:37 onward; would it be possible to fix this? Great upload! I learnt so much!!
Much respect to what Delian is doing with Varda. I suppose the question in response to 9:35 is: what about a couple hundred years later?

Great conversation, high information density!
