The title has nothing to do with a post that sort of starts off somewhere and ends up going absolutely nowhere.
What I thought you were going to write about was if some nation dropped an H-bomb and we all went to war, everyone would be recruited out of their current lives and startup-centric mind frames. No more entrepreneurship when everyone's trying to survive a war (Unless you're Milo Minderbiner in a Hellerian universe).
- tomjen3 16y agoIf some country drops one nuclear bomb we will be shocked by how little damage it will do to the US and how swift the response is going to get. If Russia or China starts a fullscale nuclear war, it is over before they have the time to consider a draft. In any other case a draft is political suicide and will be the only thing (short of an invasion) that can united the country. So a draft is extremely unlikely.
- rbarooah 16y agoThe title is parody - he's commenting on the general amount of gibberish that gets written about startups.
- instakill 16y ago*Facepalm. It makes a lot more sense from that perspective. Long day, brain drained.
- rhizome 16y agoParody has a referent, the title here is more accurately called "sarcastic."
- rbarooah 16y agoI think it's a mashup of multiple startup memes. If a referent has to be singular rather than a general class in order for it to qualify as parody, then I stand corrected.
- michaelochurch 16y agoThere's so damn much useless, feel-good, vague gibberish written about startups that combating the problem by writing more of the stuff is not exactly the solution I'd prefer. A startup is like a burrito. Wait, no. That's monads.
