I use beauty as a way of helping people to receive difficult or upsetting ideas. The topical issues are merely a vehicle for making one aware of one's own perceptual shift-which is the real thrill.
When I see people laughing at ideas and companies we have backed, I smile. It means we are going to make a lot of money on that investment.
The more entrepreneurs in the world that are getting their ideas financed, the more great companies there are going to be that we can all invest in.
Ideas that most people derided as ridiculous have produced the best outcomes. Don't do the obvious thing.
If you have an idea that you can't get out of your head, do a startup. Otherwise join a startup.
