I think the binary thinking here is quite a bit simplistic. Think of "changing the world" not as a zero or 1 proposition but as a continuum. Some companies/products change the world for the better by 0.98 and some other ones only by 0.02. That doesn't mean you shouldn't fund the 0.02s. Because a lot of 0.02 in aggregate change the world by a lot.

Eh, I think there's a point where it gets so diluted that the argument boils down to, "any human activity might be changing things by a little". I'm posting quite a bit of top-quality insight here on the HN (top 50 by karma!), so maybe my thought leadership is changing the world (by a very small amount). Should I set up an interview where my visionary themes get celebrated?
