I was thinking about a very small version of this topic the other day--how can you re-create the intrinsic motivation of a startup in a large company? My conclusion was you just can't. The combination of scarcity, urgency, and potential opportunity present in startups seems to catalyze something that can't (at least maybe not ethically) be simulated. Maybe in the large what we really need to get it together and pull these things off is immediate existential threat e.g. a world war or crisis of similar magnitude.
