It's shocking how few people understand this, and how good YC is at painting the narrative that this isn't the case. My roommate, after reading all of pg's essays and learning the YC mantra, came to the conclusion that they don't care about making money, and just want to do good for the world. That is the picture they paint to get smart people to work on problems that are most likely going to fail. YC knows what they are doing.
