Nonetheless, I think it's important not to lose touch with the fact that some things are more important than others. It's necessary for an entrepreneur to think that what he or she is doing is important, but one can take that too far. It's not as though the entrepreneurs are on their own in this, anyway. There is always far more money and attention for things that are not important in comparison to those that are. Playing games versus medical research, for example. Political campaign funding versus medical research. Pretty much anything in the mainstream of culture versus medical research. In general we are the species that fritters away our opportunities for significance, with odd exceptions here and there. Entrepreneurs are just like everyone else in this respect.
