What Will Future Generations Condemn Us For? (opens in new tab)

I'd guess the fact that education (giving back to society) has fallen prey to acquisition (taking from society) - in terms of priority, anyhow.

Don't get me wrong here. I'm all for making money with crazy business ideas, but it's important to make sure that we're giving back; we need to make sure that future generations have a foundation upon which they can build, not just survive.

A net positive for society - not just your bottom line - is pretty damned important.
