What must it be like to slick the green hairs of algae across my kneecaps? to breathe in the muddy water? to look into the button-eyes of a massive gar, and to say my goodbye in bubbles? Say, Goodbye, world. Goodbye, gar. In pictures they are needle-nosed and have many teeth, but I do not think they are aggressive. They look impassive. I do not think they would eat me. The carp is king.

There was a guy once who we funded who was terrible. I said: ‘How could he be bad? He looks like Zuckerberg!’ … But after ranking every Y.C. company by its valuation, Graham discovered a more significant correlation. “You have to go far down the list to find a C.E.O. with a strong foreign accent,” Graham told me.
