"And here's where working on something that matters to you more than money is critical. When you're committed to something larger than yourself, every minute counts."

"our business plan: that we could get people to pay real money for virtual clothes"

Virtual clothes??? THAT really matters? THAT is larger than yourself?



Apparently it matters to those willing to pay for them and those wanting to provide them. In the grand scheme of things I would say this matters just as much as anything else.


If your question is sincere, read http://bit.ly/q2Sp


By selling "virtual clothes", you're going to reverse "America's declining social capital" and revive democracy?


I'm sorry you can't see the connection. It does require more than reading the subtitle, though. If anyone is interested in a serious conversation on this topic, feel free to get in touch. There's a lot more at stake than virtual clothes.


Sorry, I don't have the time to read an entire book to understand the master plan behind a bubbly-looking startup. Surely you can give us a brief summary of what's "at stake" beyond virtual clothes.
