What is wrong with fantasizing? It seems that to HN is full of dreamers and people who ignore statistics and likely outcomes. How many small businesses fail? How many people quit their steady job in order to go join a startup?
- polyfractal 15y agoI think the difference is, right or wrong, that when people ignore statistics and pursue startups, they have the feeling that they can affect the outcome. A lottery is just a random number generator. A startup is blood, sweat and tears...and if I sweat just a little more we can beat the odds.
