Ask HN: How do you deal with alienation?

The latter is what I meant. I think most people would trade everything to be one of the greats. But is it worth it for the shot at being one of them? I'd say absolutely.

Not to mention: as you go for it, you find better and better people along the way.

I guess the difficult work could be delegated to geniuses who want to work with you, while you complete the work within your means.

It's hard not to be devilishly jealous of their towering talent, though. Also, I'd imagine it would be extremely hard to earn their respect, so it they would be hard or impossible to find, or to keep.

You bring up a really interesting point. To me, doing the work myself matters more than realizing the vision. I never knew that about myself before, so thank you.

I just wanted to reply to this to see how far to the right the text would go.
