"Disruption" rhetoric reminds me of those clerics in the Middle East who preach peace and forgiveness in English and war and vengeance in their native tongue in the same speech.
Founders who give a shit about TechCrunch want to be corporate. (There are many founders who don't, and I'm not talking about them.) They want in the club. They use "disruption" rhetoric to inspire 22-year-old engineers to work 90-hour-weeks, but what they really want is to join what they feint against on stage, and they profit immensely from the sale of young, clueless talent ($5 million per head acq-hires where those engineers themselves are lucky to get $47) is their way of getting there.
