If it's any consolation, they were "normal people" before they became insanely wealthy. If anything, that's the point of YC .. to give "normal people" with intellect, determination and good ideas the chance to become "insanely wealthy" while improving the world.

I'd probably argue that it's a bad thing for anyone to have the chance to be "insanely wealthy."
"I wish everyone had the chance, but nobody would use it" could be better.
That's an excellent point. Would love to chat with you more about it, but I don't see contact info in your profile. Feel free to hit me up at p@pwhite.org.
Wow, please do make that argument. I'm dying to see it.
