Given how jobs seem to be dying, self employment may be the wave of the future. It was also something the founders of the U.S. thought was critical as a foundation for a truly free and empowered society. I think this is correct. When I had a corporate job, I worried a lot that they would trip across my online activities and fire me for them for some damn reason. It seriously curtailed my online activities for a time. I think you see a high correlation between being a founder and having really strong opinions because these people can afford their opinions, both literally and figuratively. They don't have to live in fear that their opinions might leave them unable to provide for themselves and their families. If the takeaway is "If you want his confidence, then become an entrepreneur," I am very okay with that. There is zero reason we can't create a country of lots of small businesses and consultants. The reality is small businesses provide more jobs and job growth in the U.S. than megacorps do anyway.
