I'm having a hard time separating the above from revolutionary socialism, and the best I can do is simply admit that he's completely ignorant--doesn't understand economics at all, and is just spewing received wisdom like so much bilge from a cracked hull. Google wants to organize the world's information. Information has these qualities: 1. It is good. 2. It is mostly unstructured. 3. It is found in uncountable places. So-and-so wants to "Organize the world's hunger." Hunger has these qualities: 1. It is bad. 2. It is a biological phenomena, rather than a product--something you can create, and then move around, and store, like information. 3. It is found in places with undeveloped economies. ...point is, there is absolutely no comparison. The two words have no points of connection. Information is subject to organization, hunger is not. In fact "organize hunger" is a meangingless combination of words. So, as usual, when someone spouts literal nonsense, it becomes the reader's burden to figure out what he means. Fine. He wants rid of the invisible hand which has tricked google into benefiting mankind, and he wants to set up planning committees to eradicate (not "organize") hunger. And he wants startups to do this. Okay, that makes sense. Thanks for the viewpoint, Harvard. Want to end hunger? No, really? Okay, shoot the latter-day communists in Africa, set up strongmen who will protect property, and let capital flow. Period.
