I'd like to see someone do so serious studies of the dot com days. Case in point: a house in Silicon Valley which housed half a dozen dot com billionaires (none over 23) who are now most likely trying to scrape by selling tee shirts at the San Francisco Marina. The gathering was based on the belief that these billionaires were obviously the best and the brightest in the world. They moved in together so that no time would be wasted in commuting or other outside activities. These gifts to God could spend day and night brainstorming the next idea that was going to revolutionize the world yet again. After 6 months together they came up with no new ideas, viable or not, and moved out.
