PayPal’s founding team was six people.
...
Four of them built bombs when they were
in high school.
Surprised no one picked up on this (not that I could see anyway).
When we hear about a kid who got caught building a bomb these days we never think Wow - they'll make a great entrepreneur some day!
Maybe we should learn not to judge children too harshly?
- malux85 14y agoExpanding on what you're saying, I think it's important to get people to curb the knee-jerk soccer mom reaction "OMG MY CHILD IS MAKING BOMBS" and find out if the child is making bombs because they have a serious psychological problem, or they're interested in science. One child needs a therapist, one child needs a chemistry book. Speaking as the child who made bombs, and got the chemistry book :)
