At least it was just a game company :)

I find that initiative and grit combined is an exceedingly rare commodity, and it do power progress. We can always be picky about the worth or risks of the projects these souls end up realizing, but the function this provides to our society is critical.

It's not being "picky" to those whose lives get worse.

How do you have such confidence for what works in a complex adaptive system?

Do you think society can be reduced to a model of functions and metrics?

You can only afford to use that model if it doesn't harm your experience of life. For many, it's a model that makes them invisible.
