Comment on Startup School And Survivor Bias

>"Startup School is mostly an exercise in survivorship bias"

Life itself is mostly an exercise in survivorship bias. Startup goes into deadpool, you don't hear about it. Similarly, John Doe dies, and nobody ( other than his family & relatives ) hear about it. I mean, what are you going to say to the world at large ? John Doe was born, John Doe went to accountancy school, John Doe became bean counter at big-corp, John Doe died, ergo John Doe's 401K = $xyz => goes towards Junior John Doe's accountancy school. Repeat cycle. GOTO 1.That's what the obituaries are for.
