Perhaps, maybe there is someone like that with the time at hand.

A singular paradigm shift as defined by Kuhn et.al., strictly speaking, would perhaps take half or quarter of a lifetime of effort.

Most entrepreneurs would want to invest that energy into building their companies, not involved with too much political muck.

VCs / institutional folks are functionally services. Its like a 7 star hotel, there are some people who can afford to stay there. Some can even afford a presidential suite. They don't give a hoot about those that cannot pay the tab.. mostly because they are fielding all the demand they can get .. and have no time for anyone's feelings.

You have a better chance of getting empathy from groups like yC than VC.

What a man needs is silence and warmth; what he is given is an icy pandemonium "[1]
