1) most ordinary entrepreneurs can find plenty of work handling finished goods, e.g. FBA. It’s the capital that is needed for them to start which is a problem for those who would rather buy a mortgage, vacation, etc. than build a business.

2) I find your opinion of a corporate social contract terrifying. If anything, entrepreneurialism is necessary for the ex nihilo creation of labor demand to keep society stable.



What a strange reply.

Your 1) Please read again, this does not fit to anything I wrote. Especially the main point, that inconvenient "anybody" vs. "everybody" thing that you completely ignore.

Your 2) This too has nothing at all to do with what I wrote. You respond to whatever strange visions appear in your own mind. I'm very sorry for you if you find the idea that people who are down and/or out are getting help so frightening, that non-rich people don't have to live in fear. And if you want to point to the "overachievers" - again see my main point and answer those points (first you have to actually notice and acknowledge them, of which there is no sign even though it was the main point of my post, "anybody" vs. "everybody").

Sorry, the quotes I address for better context:

1) “Just to use an extreme example where every single person actually is a genius. Now imagine what happens when most people are ordinary.”

My capitalization caveat for ordinary entrepreneurs was to preempt the response that ordinary people can’t afford to quit their day jobs.

2) “To me, people giving up many of their freedoms to work in a higher-level form of organization is something positive, and I think we actually need more of it.”

I disagreed. We need more disagreeableness in society and less conformity. Anyone can but not everyone will ;).
