Nipun Mehta wrote about social networks tapping into sins like ego, sloth, and greed, as noted by Reid Hoffman. The document discusses how commerce, barter, casinos, and lesser connections to inner ecology result in less inner transformation. It promotes telling a new story and using smile cards to build many types of capital through inner transformation instead of sins. The document ends by thanking the reader.
4. “Social networks do best
when they tap into one of the
seven deadly sins. Facebook
is ego. Zynga is sloth.
LinkedIn is greed.”

Its a radical departure from traditional entrepreneurship. Traditional entrepreneurs, and really all economics, rests on a very limited foundational premise -- that human beings aim to maximize self interest. Sure, a lot of good has come out of it, but it has restricted our capacity to generate new kinds of value.

The European Union last year approved a new rule mandating that all trades must exist for at least a half-second; Key question: how can technology support that inner transformation.

Mother’s Love; nature’s bounty; tomatoes don’t come with price tag. More than a 100 years since he penned those words, we’ve put price tags on thins that Oscar even in his Wildest dreams (or nightmares!) could not have seen coming. For instance, today your company for $10 can purchase the right to emit a metric ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. For $75 hundred dollars you can hire a human being to be a guinea pig in risky drug trials. And for a quarter of a million dollars you can buy the right to shoot and kill an endangered rhino in South Africa. So somehow we've managed to put a price tag on life, death, and almost everything in between.In a world everything has a price --- what happens to the priceless and how can technology contribute?
