They try to blur the borders between whats on the web and whats on my harddisk. That seems to make things worse in the first instance. Confusion is a bad thing.

What vantages do I get in return?

"Every thing you own takes energy away from you."

Wonderful sentence. This is how I feel too.

However, I think its some kind of special mental handicap of nerds.

There are people, who are living perfectly energetic and well in a huge pile of crap.

Too me it looks like analytical people are scared by complexity of stuff, while intuitive people like it.

No, because having done something 100 times without failure is not a proof of a low failure-rate.

I dont have the time. I run a company.

And besides that... school??? Sitting on my ass, listening to someone sounds not like a lot of fun to me.

I dont have the time to analyze other startups, because I have to care for my own company. Of course if there would be some very cool project out there, I might take the time to help them. But finding that cool project would need time that I dont have.
