I don't think that million dollars can ever replace those years that you could have rather spent at school. Is money is everything Paul wants everyone to run after. Is there a place for passion for creating things without worrying about money, learning new stuff or just plain old play a better idea to spend your ONE life than to keep worrying about creating something that you would bag a big fat ass beurocratic giant to buy out? Paul seems to think his success is repeatable 50% of the times and looks like he won't hesitate to sacrifice schoole years of these kids for his part of million.

"Is there a place for passion for creating things without worrying about money, learning new stuff "

Funny you say that because every single founder I was with this summer had two things in common: they were passionate about what they were doing and they learned A LOT over the course of the three months.

Relax. If you dislike an individual, you can simply state it rather than using some twisted logic to express the same thing.

I think PG expressed why making money is important in an earlier essay. So that we get making money out of the way of us making a life, or something like that.
