> This kind of lottery mentality just gives the general public the impression that there's a gold rush going on, and causes the kind of magical thinking that's similar to teenagers all hoping to become the next rock star or sports legend, or in this case, startup founder, that will make millions, focusing on the money instead of asking themselves what they want to do with their lives.

Isn't it related or similar (should I say the same ?) to the notion that "every american is a potential millionaire" when discussing high-income taxes ?
