Think of what's being built as a machine for taking several great ideas and spreading them to areas to which they haven't yet spread.

While there's much talk of disruption in startups, their goal isn't to destroy, it's to build something better and the destruction results therefrom. Considered that way, the institutionalization of startups doesn't contradict their mission any more than writing in a higher level language makes one less of a programmer.

I agree with most of the details; most people's incentives aren't pure. While that may not be ideal, yet far it has accelerated innovation.
