Become a startup entrepreneur if you "want to change the world" is not the same as "to change the world". I also would not block on the word "change".
To me it means providing a significant contribution to the world evolution. There is some liberty degree in how we would contribute to its evolution and how much.
Another point is that I feel we shouldn't take this at 1rst degree. To me it means the initial author is talking of a life goal, not an objective. A goal is something we try to achieve, tend to, but it's ok to fail. An objective is something we have to achieve and it is bad to fail.
In french there is a third level on top of these but I don't know how to translate it. It is a life ideal. (idéal de vie). This is just a general direction we define for our life. Whether we want to do good or bad, make significant contribution to the world evolution or help and support others to live their life and achieve their own goal.
The initial author is himself confusing objective, goal and ideal, but the post author too.
What I retain from the initial author is that beeing a startup entrepreneur is very hard, unsure and we have false assumptions on what it could yield to us : power, money, ...
