When I talk to young people with startups, they are not saying, “We’re going to do this thing and we just have a feeling it’s important, we have a feeling it will matter to people, but we don’t know why or how.” Instead, they have this airtight worldview, as though what they’re doing is dictated by the zeitgeist. But in order to have culture, there has to be some little bubble that’s not meshed with everything else, within which something can brew. And you don’t get that when your startup is routed through a giant computer.
