I think I’d take directing big things at Google over riding a dirt bike…

I’m not actually sure what you don’t get.

I’m all for not living a lower level grind and riding a dirt bike. Most jobs simply aren’t interesting.

If you're a director at Google you can probably afford a pretty damn nice dirt bike if that's your jam

Regretting not being able to create more shareholder value on your deathbed.

So very sad.

    Depends on the shareholder. At Sergey Brin's level, that shareholder value shapes the future of humanity, a legacy affecting many more people and will last far longer than spending time with single, or even double digit number of children.

      I can't really tell what you're trying to say, do you really think the shareholder value of Google is positively aligned with the future of humanity? As in: If Google builds a really good AI and makes a lot of money from that, this will be a net positive for the world?
