I would have thought Khosla to be quite intelligent, but then he says this:

> additions and exits from this group can also be tracked. We get what we measure. Will this raise income inequality?

I'm not that smart but I'm pretty sure that X = Y here, and X - Y = 0.



Yes? It sounds like it is the churn rate he wants to measure. Which could be used as a proxy og social mobility.


Reminds me of the Sacha Baron Cohen bit where he suggested to Bernie Sanders that we move the 99% into the 1%.

I think a generous reading is Khosla was referring to capital rather than people, which is something similar to Gini coefficient. Very generous.

On the other hand, maybe people like that, who for no reason aside from their massive personal fortune have a huge megaphone, deserve less generosity and should give everything they write a sniff test first. Idk.
