Also 

a) there is such a thing as an inclusive sense of harm in a negative npv sense, including groups you might feel a concern for. This is a force for good.

b) a justified sense that startups trying something new that succeed will turn into asshole corps with >50% chance (notice people trying new art or science don’t attract as much or any dunking) 

c) if you really believe you’re making omelets without cracking some eggs and all dunking is just envy and ressentiment you haven’t thought your business model through. 

“Who will get fucked if you win and are they the right people?” should be a startup interview question
