Is the Game of Status Enough?

There are fewer and fewer symphonies getting written, at least the ones that i've seen cross my desk. We need to figure out what impact we are trying to make with the work we do. Are building systems with network effects, places like facebook and instagram, that don't exist to make things better? Is it enough for some one to make ten million, or 50 million, or a hundred million dollars, a billion dollars, 50 billion dollars? At what point is the game of i can make more more important than the game ofi can make a difference?
