Scenario 2: *Builds new medium* VC: So you're going for the social media throne, too? Me: No. I want to destroy it. VC: And take the market cap? Me: No. It reflects a pathological capture of social capital. I want it all to be worth way, way less. VC: Thanks for coming in.

Replying to @generativist
Scenario 4: Like Scenario 1 but accompanied by schmoozing with legislators so that it can't be shut down (as easily?). Capitalism is hard to solve and requires collective action. You can't do it on your own... even (especially?) with Kickstarter.
