Men used to talk about starting businesses to get rich. They ran oil fields or discovered innovations. They dreamed to become business tycoons.

Now they just try to catch a good trade. How sad and pathetic have we became?

We went from building empires to chasing chart patterns. The dream used to be creation…now it’s just speculation. We’ve gotta bring that builder spirit back.

We went from building empires to chasing chart patterns. So we'll said.

We went from building empires to chasing chart patterns. The dream used to be creation….now it’s just speculation. We’ve gotta bring that builder spirit back. I talked briefly about this in my podcast last week.

So you don’t want to be rich?

Financialization rot.

In fairness, most governments have spent the past century thoroughly crushing anyone who wants to innovate. Why would I want to build something they have proven will just be stolen on a whim? Ayn Rand was right.

Nothing seems worth doing. Why start a business when it will most likely fail spectacularly? I myself struggle to find anything that would be possibly profitable and sustainable.

Couldn’t agree more… where is the imagination?
