Setting a fire is easier than putting one out.

And sometimes the people who fail to put out a fire are persecuted by the ones who don’t show up at all–or worse yet, fan the flames.

A recent Gizmodo article basically criticizes a volunteer fire department. No, not literally. This has nothing to do with actual fires of fire-fighters.

This has to do with an article called, “Some Crypto-Capitalists Just Want to See The World Burn.”

Conspicuously lacking in the article is… how exactly the “crypto-capitalists” want to see the world burn?

The article tears apart all the ways the attendees of the Startup Societies Summit are trying to put out the fires of the world. It tries to torch innovative ideas about how to end poverty, clean up the environment, stop government abuse, feed the hungry, and advance modern medicine.
