Stupid people usually are a burden. But for startups they're an asset. We make complicated things so simple and dangerous things so easy that those morons out there can use them without hurting others and themselves (too much). The process of creating a solution for the non-geeks out there means: "Dumbing down." It's a pain. And the price they pay heals our intellectual wounds. :)


My wife likes to say: the problem with making something idiot-proof is that they will always invent a bigger idiot.


One teacher once said: The sum of all human intelligence is constant over the time.
