Dang it, I fell in to the trap (again) of not distinguishing my opinions from a summary of the opinions I've read on the web. You'd have a hard time finding a bigger fan of the "wealth creation" view than me, but most people don't think that way. I'm sure many (most?) investors and observers think there are a fixed number of potential successful startup founders and that if YC gets all the good ones, then there will be none left. pg takes the opposite approach, trying to grow the pool of founders through his writing and community efforts. His anti-job, anti-BigCo essays are eye openers to a lot of people (myself included) who had never thought there was another way. pg is definitely not out to dominate the market - I pointed out that he purposely ignores a large part of the market to focus on the niche he's interested in.
