Naval Ravikant on how investors should treat entrepreneurs: Let Mozart create more notes

There is a great part, where Mozart has composed an opera for the emperor. And it is a fantastic opera, and afterward the emperor walks up and says, oh it was very nice, but “there are simply too many notes.” Sometimes I feel that is what investors are doing in board meetings. They are looking at the entrepreneur and saying “too many notes.” It is important to find an investor that treats you as a peer and is humble and is not going to tell you that your symphony has too many notes.

The key to propaganda

Propaganda, to be credible, according to the Central Intelligence Agency psychological operations people, must tell the truth at least 80% of the time, and must tell the complete, even inconvenient truth enough of the time to appear balanced and unbiased.
