something about the assumptions behind Tiago's take bugs me but I can't put my finger on it. maybe the underlying lionization of the "super successful". and yeah I agree with you, both cigarettes and soda are fairly benign in moderation.

There’s a startup investing rule of thumb that says it’s better to knock one thing out of the park and screw up/phone-in most other things than to get most things to “very good”.
Tiago is right, but you’re also right that it’s very counterintuitive.

What I meant by assumptions was that something beyond the take itself feels off to me. Something about why the take is even "a take". Like, why is it surprising?

I'm probably responding to the class signifiers built into the framing of cigarettes and soda as "less advanced" than business success

Well... there IS a real correlation with causal significance though. Assholery is almost necessary but nowhere near sufficient.
