Watching new season of “Picard”. As usual with Star Trek, the most unrealistic part by far is the construction of anything remotely like Starfleet Academy in San Francisco.

Tim Ferriss: Do you have a favorite scene or episode for Silicon Valley? Marc Andreessen: I’ve, actually, still only seen the first season. I’m not currently. I’m starting to actually become culturally irrelevant because I don’t get any of the new references at all.

COWEN: TV show — favorite? ANDREESSEN: That one’s easy. Deadwood by far, by a mile. Deadwood is a product of an auteur named David Milch, who’s a legend, who I’ve had the pleasure of meeting one time and really enjoyed. Deadwood, in my opinion, is the closest thing that we’re going to get to Shakespeare out of our era.
