Achievement unlocked: I'm tangentially featured in a twitter thread that suddenly involved Marc Andreesen.

The quote he's referring to isn't mine, and he's making fun of it, but it's pretty cool when taken out of context the way he did: "because it's an impractical dream that's peripheral to where the important problems are."

Personally I usually aim toward impractical dreams centered right on top of the important problems.  But I can also see the argument that today's peripheral areas are tomorrow's revolutions.
