You actually don't want people thinking your product is cool, because then you're a fad.
It would be incredibly presumptuous and self-serving of me to believe that Facebook was the end of history. The only way it could possibly be the end of history is if it becomes some sort of artificial super intelligence that takes over the world.
I suffer from the delusion that every product of my imagination is not only possible, but always on the cusp of becoming real.
At the end of the day, money is just a proxy for votes. That is what makes politics so vulnerable to social media.
I think being a wealthy member of the establishment is the antithesis of cool. Being a countercultural revolutionary is cool. So to the extent that you've made a billion dollars, you've probably become uncool.
I definitely wanted to earn my freedom. But the primary motivation wasn't making money, but making an impact.
