One thing I feel like is an elephant in the room is that these great new ideas sure aren't being cultivated or drawn out by the VC machine. It seems like in a lot of ways that thing is poison to genuine inspiration.

It's only if and after it survives to show some promise, far away from eyes sporting money symbols, that it can be shaken down for money.
