i'd be curious what pg has to say about all of this. does he take the gary vaynerchuck approach and say "put your head down and crush it, it's going to be fine tomorrow" or does he think it should become part of a startup founder's thought process?
i personally am interested in economics and banking (i enjoy reading the conspiracy theories too), but after a while i wonder why i worry about it. the more i worry about that, the less i get to focus on a startup.
It would be foolish to worry about an apocalypse when you're not sure it's going to happen. Instead, worry about why your users have to click three times instead of two.
I guess there are always apocalypses (apocalypti ?) hanging around. Killer bees, asteroids, sudden catastrophic climate change, killer cosmic rays from a supernova, some freak of physics, accidental nuclear war (or deliberate), some big volcano and so on...
Of course the real danger for a personal apocalyse: getting in your car and driving. We live with it every day. No big deal.
