Not everything has to be a buisness.

This is the part that Silicon Valley doesn't get. We can, do, and need good things that don't make money.

It isn't even that it doesn't need to make money. It's that it doesn't need to keep making more money than it did last year. It's okay to have "stagnant" growth. It's okay to just keep doing well rather than keep increasing profits.
