Steve makes good points, but I can't agree with his conclusion. I believe that there are many other ways than education to encourage artists. Opportunity and necessity, for example, will by themselves lead to a great increase in the number of entreprenartists, without any changes in education methods.

- DanielBMarkham 16y agoI'm not ready to go the full distance to Steve's conclusion either. I love Steve's work, but he has a tendency to over-generalize, systematize, and the regurgitate whatever he's been absorbing. It's a great habit, and it helps tremendously to advance the conversation along, but it can lead folks to believe there's a lot more surety in his conclusions than there actually is. Great structure and descriptions are a key part of finding a solution, but they are not a solution in themselves. If we agree that art plays a huge role here, then the next logical question is: how do you teach people to be a good artist? I'm not a guy who believes you are just "born with it". I think a vast amount of stuff can be ingrained into just about anybody. But I don't think this general problem has been adequately solved by anybody in any artistic field, must less entrepreneurship. The cool thing is that it gives us a lot of places and communities to turn to in order to look at how various inculcation systems work.
