I don't think you can really argue that at all. If he hadn't done some useful stuff, someone else would have.
- scorpioxy 18y agoI've heard this statement before. Often along the lines of "why should i do something to benefit others"...since its clear that somebody else will. Now imagine for a second if everybody thought this way and left it to somebody else... I say, if it is in your power to have a positive impact, then it becomes your responsibility.
- axod 18y agoDid a single person invent the telephone, or the car, or computer? No, several people happened to invent them at pretty much the same time. It's just luck as to which got the credit for 'inventing'. Sure, if no one innovated, then we wouldn't progress, but that's not what I was saying. I was just saying that the OP "if it weren't for this guy you wouldn't be starting all these startups on shoestring budgets" was wrong.
