This is not an era of entrepreneurs and there might never again be one that conforms to the stereotype. Its an era of industrialized cookiecutter startup generation, too much money chasing too few worthy ideas, overwhelming oligopoly power, permacrises that wake nobody up from the consumerist get-rich-quick stupor, an era of dwarf politicians, and supersized hypes, engineered manias and fomo and a dazed, confused and bitter body politic. Its an era of startups-as-a-service and right now we are probably entering the managing-startup-failure-as-a-service phase. We are, in part, complicit in this state of affairs, the way the cogs of a malfunctioning machine are both cause and victims of its unhappy unraveling.
