#302 Joe Lonsdale - If China Takes Taiwan, AI Sets Back 10 Years

I think when you're a great entrepreneur, at least if I speak for others as well, and for my own things where I've built five or six pretty big companies, I think you almost have to trick yourself, at least for me, into thinking it's going to be faster than it is, because otherwise you can't get yourself to do it.

And I think that's just normal for a great entrepreneur.

So I think it's just really hard to know how long things are going to take.

And I think whatever someone guesses is a great entrepreneur, you could sometimes maybe add a few more years.

And so I think this thing takes a while.
