That said, my being in the wrong place doesn't change the fact that startups and capitalism are both lame and evil and retarded.

I think you should still consider and perhaps respond to the point instead of just discounting it because its out of place.

Well, I thought I did, but I interpreted your point more narrowly: that no proprietary app from some startup would ever be able to revolutionize authoring and reading works, replacing PDFs and their ilk for academics and research. I agreed.

If your point is the much broader contention that capitalism is lame and evil and retarded in general, that's a little beyond the scope of what can be resolved on HN.
