Most people don't know this, but Salvador Dalí built his entire career on tapping into his unconscious mind on purpose. Dalí's most famous trick was a micro-nap he called "slumber with a key." He'd sit in a heavy Spanish-style armchair, head tilted back against the leather, both arms hanging completely limp off the armrests, and in his left hand he'd hold a heavy metal key pinched lightly between his thumb and forefinger. Directly under that hand, on the floor, he'd place an upside-down plate. He'd then let himself drift into sleep. The instant he actually fell asleep, his muscles would go slack, the key would slip out of his fingers, hit the upside-down plate, and the clang would jolt him awake. The whole nap was meant to last less than a quarter of a second. He called that half-second window the "taut and invisible wire which separates sleeping from waking," and he'd immediately sketch the hallucinations he saw in that flash. The melting clocks, the elephants on stilts, the burning giraffes, a lot of that came straight out of those quarter-second naps. He picked the trick up from Capuchin monks and wrote it down as one of his "50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship."

On one side, you have the VC, with a network. On the other, the founder, without. Just to get the attention of the VC, the founder must navigate a network of strangers to find someone who believes in their idea enough to agree to pass it on. And then they hope the VC, hearing this idea from a second-hand source, also sees the potential. Who does this nonsense work well for? It works reasonably well for founders with "obvious" ideas that have some recognisable "pedigree", who are perhaps gifted with charisma. However, none of these attributes are positively correlated with returns. They are positively correlated with generating faster markups, so it also works well as a filter for the scaled venture platforms who sell allocation to LPs. But, for most founders, it's a massive waste of time and a painful distraction to be forced to play this ridiculous ego-driven relationship game. The first thing any new VC should pledge is to not waste founders' time, because it is infinitely more precious than any VC's time. The arrogance of making founders jump through hoops for a chance at raising money is insane. Unless you believe your customers are LPs, rather than founders.

,@PalmerLuckey on Peter Thiel, @pmarca, and raising venture capital: "People say, 'It's so difficult to get a warm intro to people.'" "Marc Andreessen has a really good point on this." "He says, 'You know the reason that I want a warm intro for anybody that I'm going to invest
