The problem is, we're focused on trivial bullshit. Parking, car services, groceries, housekeeping.
We're blessed with the most powerful software, hardware, all infinitely scalable and at the lowest cost ever (open source, AWS, cloud, whatever) and we're building bullshit lifestyle apps.
We're a long way off from the 70's and 80's. Steve and Woz's "bicycle for the mind" - Google's "information instantly for everyone" - we're building toys for the rich.
Make no mistake, Uber is for the rich. Taskrabbit is for the rich.
Average household income in the US. Remember, HOUSEHOLD. Is something like ~52K.
Do you think what you're working on will help that $52K household? Because Uber won't. Taskrabbit won't. Your new social network won't.
I know there are outliers. Theranos. 23andMe. Tesla (once it trickles down).
But most of us on here? We want a gadget, some sort of highly-viral network effect app that nets us a liquidity/exit event.
We don't care about income inequality, sexism, or the (middle) class. We want our stupid fucking house in Palo Alto, our Tesla S, and fuck all for anyone outside the bubble.
Maybe step back and decide if you're just selling digital sugar water or if you're actually going to change the world.
