That doesn’t invalidate what the parent said though. Unpaid internships do filter out people who need a paycheck to survive.

Sure they do, but those can apply to a paid position. I don't see why someone who knows enough to get paid would even consider an unpaid internship.

Right, it's the people that need the internship to learn/network and need a paycheck that are SoL

Jason just wasn't into it and invented a random reason to say no... and brag about it—after all, his day-to-day job is constantly tweeting, bragging, and pretending about giving advice to become visible for startups and get the deal flow at the same time showing those SaaStr conference goers to keep participating and paying. If numbers in the deck were impressive for the economics work for him personally, he would be begging founder to take his money despite any date or any other imperfections in the deck. But the numbers weren't. And Jason used it as a reason to remind about himself one more time to the public.

How about a stable genius?

As we have seen, you can be very stable at ones utmost intellectual level year after year, and sometimes it can amazingly be someone who is naturally the complete opposite of advanced anyway.

Not quite sure if you got the joke or not. In case you didn't: I was referring to how Trump referred to him once: as a very stable genius haha :D :D
