> look at a list of the companies for the past few YC batches... there are some absolutely ridiculous ideas, most of these companies will fail miserably and would NEVER have been seeded during a recession

Out of curiosity, what is the problem with people trying "ridiculous' ideas? Airbnb and Uber were considered ridiculous at the time and look how that turned out. Sometimes ridiculous ideas can turn to fantastic companies that add economic value to the world. The opportunity cost of not chasing these ridiculous ideas is worse than otherwise if you ask me.
