Re: [FRIAM] enablors vs disruptors

Well, there's the concrete truck and then there's the jackhammer. if these are the subjects, what are the objects? A concrete truck enables the paving of the universe but disrupts the ecosystem while the jackhammer presumably/roughly does just the opposite.

Re: [FRIAM] enablors vs disruptors

I think Eric did a good job demonstrating that the use of "technology" in "technology startup" is at least ambiguous, if not a straight-up misnomer. But another ambiguity lies in the word "startup". My company is routinely misclassified as a startup simply because we're small and have our

Pretty much anything "as in Star Trek" can serve as a metaphor to pretty much anything IRL. So, all you have to do is begin with, "Metaphorically, ..." And we have to allow for all of the incarnations, movies, TNG, DS9, Voyager, etc. We should even count
