What about all these corner grocery stores? They could be out saving the world, fighting malaria, going to mars, but what are they doing? Selling groceries. What a bunch of assholes.

Corner grocery stores don't fluff the press with stories about changing the world and grand visions.

They probably pay their taxes as well.

Are soup kitchens assholes because Daniel Patterson and Roy Choi are making a big deal about "changing the world" through Locol?

Most SF startups don't, either. Do you believe in the concept of group responsibility for individual action?

Corner grocery stores don't get hundreds of millions in VC funding, hire the brightest of this generation, and make them stock shelves of soup.

Maybe the 'brightest of this generation' should start companies working on 'real problems' instead of stocking soup at companies working on 'trivial problems'. VC money is apparently being thrown at anything and everything, after all.
