Greed is NOT good.
No matter what the money men love to think or say, Greed is Not good.
In fact Greed is SUICIDE.
Greed is STUPID.
A well developed form of Greed is called Capitalism.
Capitalism is not merely stupid, Capitalism is self-destructive.
And Capitalisim is scared.
Hysterically scared silly.
Capitalism looks to guys like John Doerr to know what to do.
And John is scared.
Really, really sacred.
John thinks that Capitalism can save the world from... well... Capitalism.
I’m afraid I don’t agree.
But who am I? (rhetorical question, please keep reading).
John Doerr is a partner in VC firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
They made upwards of $1 billion picking the hot dot-com stars like Amazon, Google, Compaq and Netscape. He was famously quoted saying, "The Internet is the greatest legal creation of wealth in history."
"John Doerr is, by all accounts, the most influential venture capitalist of his generation." - Fast Company
So the running scared Capitalists will pay $6000 each to attend the annual
TED (technology, education, design) Conference in Santa Monica to hear what John has to say. You can hear it for free on what the president of the USA calls the internets:
John Doerr: Seeking salvation and profitI’d really like to know what you, dear readers, think about what John Doer is proposing,
because every one of us could work on what he suggests.
Have a look and please respond.
