“My first job was at a Burger King.” — Chamath Palihapitiya Quote

My first job was at a Burger King.

The point of Silicon Valley, at least when I moved here, was we're all trying to do stuff, and none of us quite felt like we fit in anywhere else. But we were all trying to do good things. And the money was just the byproduct of good things.

Betting against entrepreneurs who are changing the world has never been a profitable endeavor.

Half the population of the entire world is women, and people are somehow shocked that this entire half is as capable as the other half.

All these social media sites allow us to confuse truth and popularity. That has to be fixed. Because every normal citizen has a right to know what is factual versus what is amplified by good actors or bad actors.

Everybody wants instant gratification for everything. It's all got to be like fast food. You want a hamburger now, you get it now. Hey, even when McDonald's started out, it took them a couple of minutes to make your burger and get it to you. Now, it's all wham, bam. That's tough enough on a burger. It's impossible with a relationship.

I've discovered the burger is a crazy thing in Vegas, but I was one of the early chefs to do a lot of burgers.

I love a burger and fries, but it's not what I crave. I love to eat healthily.

Before a game, I always eat a turkey burger with mayonnaise. The players say it's disgusting, but I'm not changing.
