Motivation & Purpose - Companies like Salesforce and Oracle were built with money as a primary motivator, while Apple and Twitter were driven by artistic vision, SpaceX and Tesla by engineering excellence, and Bitcoin and Zcash by ideological convictions [1] - The pursuit of art, science, and justice can generate more energy than purely financial incentives [2] - A company should be started only if one is passionate about solving a problem, not for money, fame, or competition [3] Business Strategy & Sustainability - Money is a metric, but not the only one, and the "capitalism" aspect of technocapitalism has been overemphasized [2] - When a cause faces setbacks, a paycheck provides stability; when there is no paycheck, the righteousness of the cause drives one forward [3]
