Paul Graham accidentally explained everything wrong with SV world view
PGs argument unfortunately ignores that its the majority that makes it possible for the few to create things. He doesn&#x27;t seem to understand that instead of being bolstered by the success of the few, the opposite is happening and the majority is being left behind. Its sad to say, but his current social position is definitely influencing his thought process.<p>The author of this essay does the opposite. He ridicules the advancements that start ups have created by focusing on things like Candy Crush. What about Dropbox and Uber. Those have had a profound impact for the positive.<p>What we should be saying is that income inequality is occurring because there is a skew in the system. The growth we are creating isn&#x27;t being equally distributed back to the growth generators. We make Candy Crush worth billions, but that billions doesn&#x27;t do anything for the majority. Nurses and janitors are vital jobs, no arguing that, but we need growth generators as well. It sad that no ones sees this to be the issue and instead we all pick our extreme corner and then drive points to bolster ourselves.
