YC alumnus != YC. Huge difference there.

Agreed on the 'changing the world' bs, though there are some that genuinely seem to have that goal (Watsi, for instance).

And yes, people usually do not need all that they are buying but then again, it keeps the economy going, I'm having a hard time imagining a world where everybody behaves like MMM does, it would not scale.
