I think the main issue is cultural. Bright and talented students from strong universities, like Chalmers where I studied, are looking for jobs. It simply doesn’t occur to them that they could start a company. During my time there, I never once heard a student mention it. A shame really.
It just seems implausible this is what we are made of, essentially, nanotechnology about a billion years beyond anything we can design or make ourselves.
Fast, lift, sprint, stretch, and meditate.
Build, sell, write, create, invest, and own.
Read, reflect, love, seek truth, and ignore society.
Make these habits. Say no to everything else.
Avoid debt, jail, addiction, disgrace, shortcuts, and media.
Relax. Victory is assured.
