I have this pessimistic take on YC's "call for startups" that I'm curious if anyone else feels, or can tell me my line of thinking is off... By telling everyone "here are the companies we're most interested in investing in right now" it allows YC (and its constituents) to dictate a "techno agenda" for how they think the future should look. They're limiting the creativity of highly ambitious and intelligent young people by telling them what problem areas they *should* be working on before they've had a chance to explore that for themselves.
