TL;DR: when you want to know the real value of something, picture a world without it.


This is inspiring, especially if you want to create something good, clearly seeing how bad that part of the world is now. It seems that it gets only worse each year, so opportunities should open up. But then the latter doesn’t feel like it should. Then you realize that your picture is missing a perception of value, a shift in which costs a fortune of scale and belief, so it takes an Elon Zuckerberg to do that. This is uninspiring.
