Another perspective; can you call yourself a true entrepreneur if you haven't had more than one entrepreneurial endevaour (I'm not talking that you need to have IPOd a tech company before but rather had a lemonade stand as a kid and vice versa)?
- mindcrime 14y agoWhen I read a question that gets into what or is not a "true entrepreneur" all I can think of is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman which suggests to me that debating over labels like "true entrepreneur" (or not) or "serial entrepreneur" (or not) is a waste of time. The same discussion also smacks of a sort of elitism that I associate with the idiots to run around talking about what metal bands are or aren't "tr00 kvlt". None of this strikes me as very productive.
- temp1337 14y agoYour link to Wikipedia further fuels my occasional trolls there. I know enough about enough things to introduce sophisticated errors beyond the "bill fucks jane" type trolls you'll see in article histories. Self-reflection is obviously a very difficult thing for our species, and perhaps you should reflect that you aren't being very productive making this comment. Hug your cat.
- temp1337 14y agoWow--the truth hurts. I don't have any down-votes, but no comments or up-votes here. Well, it's not about me. It's about the lives that Peter Thiel can ruin by taking people out of school. Being a billionaire removes the kind of people who will warn you about this. Not a flame--just an observation. Meanwhile, I think I'll go hug my spouse and dog. If there's a lesson here--speak truth to money. Speak truth to power. I'm not going to fix our species--but I'm not going to whine to a bartender or worship a zombie either. Good luck--everyone.
