That's because you assume that progress comes from millionaires investing cheap central-bank money into start-ups, which isn't how the world works.

When you count on the collusion of gamblers and oligopolists to take socially positive gambles you're already stuck in a dead end.

Even then, I'd rather led the big corp do their things being while regulated than letting reckless startups harming people in the process of trying to get a nice exit getting acquired by the same big corps. I've yet to see an example where the move fast, break things and kill people line of thinking from the SV produced some net social gains.
