You have to start small to get traction and to get funded.

Facebook is overthrowing governments. Google is making self driving cars and elevators to the moon. Neither of these companies stated this as their mission or probably even dreamed of these things in year 1 or 2.

A generation from now we'll see what can happen when you give young, brilliant, idealistic founders complete control of their multi-billion dollar companies.

This is just the beginning.



Google and Facebook are the exception to the rule. You are not going to be them. Also google are not making elevators to the moon, don't be so silly.

Photocopiers used to be banned, with huge punishments for ownership, in east Germany due to their power to spread ideas quickly. But it's as silly to say that xerox brought down the berlin wall as it is to say that Facebook is bringing down governments.

You are full of it.
