Fundamentally, venture capital is the business of identifying & believing in ambitious people who need someone to believe in them. The greater the extent to which they're underestimated, the more you stand to gain — why is this *never* articulated?

Yes. That's the common understanding (I'd say misconception). But *knowledge* has a physical substrate. It has uncertainty and can be false - indeed we should expect it to be so. But belief? There's no such way to physically instantiate it apart from knowledge.

I honestly do not understand the distinction you're trying to indicate.

One point
@DavidDeutschOxf has made is that scientists often work on theories they think are false, but still the best available. So, they don’t *believe* their theories. In the context of believing in a person, you might think they’ll fail, but are still worth supporting.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is super tangential but I would have thought there is no such thing as "belief" on Bayesian/probabilistic theories of knowledge as well? If one believes in everything with a probability above a certain threshold one thereby necessarily believes inconsistent things.
