Your comment struck me as prescient. I founded a "flash in the pan" social startup game that eventually went nowhere. But despite the end results, it was quite an interesting ride and there are some fascinating stories to tell. Unfortunately, only a couple people I know have cared to hear them. Most of my 300 or so Facebook friends don't even know what a startup is, let alone why they should want to hear stories about one.
Obviously my experience is probably not nearly as interesting as yours, but I understand your sentiment. The vast majority of people simply don't seem relate to much that falls beyond their own preconceived worldviews. Anything beyond that horizon is foreign to them to the point of being meaningless.
