What started as Lonsdale helping those around him turned into 8VC, a venture capital firm constantly looking for conceptual gaps in the world
Lonsdale also shared with me one objection some have to the method of filling these gaps with the top talent. Doesn't filling in these gaps breed moral hazard, and are there not a bunch of bad guys in these areas causing all sorts of problems? Lonsdale's view is that even though America is not perfect, it is overall a force of good in the world, and we should fight to make America even better.
Lonsdale said that adversity and confronting hardship make us strong and that when you don't have adversity for a long time, you become weak. He says that 9/11 is a similar example to how, after 9/11, many people were worried and afraid of more attacks.
What was really cool to hear from Lonsdale was how he was able to get involved as the crisis unfolded. Lonsdale said he and a lot of his friends found different ways to help. Along with various projects to help evacuate allies hiding in Afghanistan, they were able to help hundreds of women attending the US university in Kabul escape to Iraq and other locations, and to sponsor transportation efforts and room and board for women who were able to get out to continue their education.
China is a place where reportedly tens of billionaires disappear, movie stars are eliminated, there is no check on the government's power, and there is no way for us to know what it could be really up to. Lonsdale thinks we need a good leader in America who can rally with other countries and stand up in stronger ways.
