> They were hungry to participate in startupism.
I’ve met a few people who have fallen into this. They spend most of their time hanging around at coworking spaces chatting to other “founders” trying to come up with startup ideas. Never seen one make any progress yet.
- mjburgess 4y agoI somewhat recently met people like this and their many "business ideas" and ideational style of speaking was strange to me. I couldn't put my finger on it, but they were talking about business as if it were a matter of "The Idea" and not, say, a business plan and market analysis. iirc, I watched a video diagnosing gen-z as being caught-up in a culture of entrepreneurialism -- which may be more common in previous US generations, but is somewhat new here amongst europeans. It seems the last two+ decades have saturated gen-z culture not with celebrities or film stars but with Bezoses, Zuckerbergs, and the like. This seems to have produced this strange climate of "startupism".
