- wcchandler 10y agoNot sure if rhetorical, so I appreciate the thought exercise and your approach to a simple question. If you were genuinely interested -- there's quite a few reasons why YC is appealing but ultimately one thing sticks out. Farming has a lot of potential for control and subsequently, abuse. You said in a recent blog post -- if I can grow the product either better or cheaper (talking about food/produce), I'll win. With current technologies and my background and experience it seems very likely I will be successful. YC is one of very few organizations that I trust to assist and embrace the humanitarian responsibility of being a potential global leader. In a nutshell.
