I think some people are missing the point of the article. Alexis is talking about how there is a growing paradigm of doing things differently, educating oneself differently, and making a living differently. There still is the received view that you are supposed to educate yourself going through 4 year university program and you make a living working 9-5 at some Megacorp. Inc. This paradigm still works well for a vast majority of people, but at the same time, a considerable portion of population is starting to find it hopeless. There is a serious anomaly in the received view for millions of young people. I know several friends who are recent grads (Non-CS/engineering) and they are finding it extremely difficult to find an entry job in their field. Alexis is saying that there is another way of doing things. I wrote about my experience meeting Alexis just this morning (http://dmtri.com/posts/28/alexis_ohanian_-_%22i_don%27t_regret_selling_reddit http://dmtri.com/posts/28/alexis_ohanian_-_%22i_don%27t_regr...).
