I don’t think it’s ridiculous. I think it simply says that people with stringent ethics cannot serve others and cede control. They may bootstrap their own businesses, become their own bosses, or find another way to operate independently.
For some, control is relinquished to VCs. For others, it is the funders of their research, or their bosses.
Most people are not as picky about their ethics as they are about their diets.
