I completely agree here. Most of the replies state that the VC provides a return on the investment of other people's money. Which then leads me to question, why do we need to invest money? If you have enough money to live comfortable and all your needs and wants are provided, why invest to get more? Number becoming bigger is exactly the point. Most of what is being provided is utter nonsense. Life would not stop if 99% of the services provided ceased today. Life might be uncomfortable, particularly those living in cities without means to provide food for yourself beyond a week. However, would still continue. A much different life, but life nonetheless. More fulfilling is a debate on the purpose of life, but I am sure as hell certain 100% of the issues we concern ourselves with today would become a non-issue.
