You (and many other readers of this site) value success in business. Even if you're currently making real money, you probably weren't at age 17, and probably didn't have much of a clue how to at age 17, and so a 17-year-old making real money is impressive.

I suspect the parent poster loath people who enjoy rent-seeking, political jockeying, and anything that scream power for power's sake.

He want to make useful products that benefit the world and make a difference. Business success, per se, is not what he's looking for. Business success is only a measure of how much he was able to make a difference in the world and how much he expand the pies for everybody.

Or maybe they just value the ability to make more money than others.
