I think there is an increasing number of people here who have either stopped thinking big or never started. Disruption is becoming just a business meme like synergy and teamwork. Some people fear change and while the community here seems to embrace change there are many who are really, really scared by the idea of their world shifting. Kickstarter is a great place to raise some money for an interesting project. Get a couple of like minded hackers on side, write a decent proposal and demo a product and you too can get a cool million. I'm sure that is terrifying for a lot of people here. They are afraid because its a threat to their dreams of making it or the way they 'made it'. They are afraid because they don't have any ideas. They are afraid because they have a choice. I love the little guys who are trying to upset the big players. I genuinely adore some of the players out there at the moment who are thinking big and trying to do or make wholly new things. It's fantastic to see that sort of creativity finally getting attention and funding. But I don't think everyone shares my enthusiasm. I think some people are just pretending and playing at being the type of person they wish they were.
