Bliss

There’s only two ways to make money from doing startups (actually this is true for any human activity);

  1. Taking money off other people (thievery), e.g. doing an early IPO based on prime bullshit, then dumping your shares before anyone notices it’s a pile of shit. Otherwise known as Mercantilism – my gain is your loss, whether you know them or not.
  2. Raping the planet, e.g. find new and more efficient technologies to consume resources and/or polute the biosphere. This is required for any increased and cheaper consumption at the end of the supply chain by consumers. Otherwise known as the Industrial Revolution.

However it’s only in the instance (a) you’re aware of this, and (b) care, that you develop bad karma by doing all this.

It also explains why those in the more affluent countries are the most miserable people. Shit karma much.

Ignorance is actually bliss.
