Seems like an incrimination of what people are willing to invest in than some flaw in inventing. Yeah, they mostly sound like silly (and not new) ideas. But then why are they getting money?
History is full of people who have been good at talking and presenting, but not as good when it comes to inventing. So I'm not that surprised that they get money, even if the ideas are somewhat pointless. I'd be more surprised if they ended up becoming successful.
Agreed. But the article seems to misplace the root cause / blame. I was just wanting to point that out.
