Love People, Not Pleasure
I'm particularly interested in how people receive this piece here, since it <i>directly</i> contradicts many of the goals put forth by YC and SV:<p>* work really hard so you can cash out (greed)<p>* build influence however you can (fame)<p>* ...ultimately, become <i>somebody</i> so you can fill that hole<p>The poor motives (which I've parenthesized) probably account for much of the fact that the New Boss is no different than the Old Boss that came before. Think about the love of cultural homogeny, or working your ass off (being exploited), or worship of youth, or proving yourself to capital (whether by OSS, influence, or profitable side projects).
