Ironically, this is precisely the kind of conclusion people are drawing from PG's essay, and its not what he was saying. I certainly don't know that people are projecting "enormous" insecurities into Paul's piece. Nor does it make me realize "just how defensive and demoralized and miserable the corporate workers really are." The essay does not claim that anyone who works in a corporate job is miserable. What is does say is that people would be happier if they were working for themselves (or in a small company). I don't have to be miserable to have potential to be happier.
