"Then I believe that a guaranteed income would actually result in more entrepreneurship."
In a future where finding easy problems is hard, and everyone is trying to start a business... you'll going to see a lot of "sit-com" start ups.
- phreeza 12y agoWhat is a sit-com startup?
- ryanSrich 12y ago> Why do so many founders build things no one wants? Because they begin by trying to think of startup ideas. That m.o. is doubly dangerous: it doesn't merely yield few good ideas; it yields bad ideas that sound plausible enough to fool you into working on them. At YC we call these "made-up" or "sitcom" startup ideas. Imagine one of the characters on a TV show was starting a startup. The writers would have to invent something for it to do. But coming up with good startup ideas is hard. It's not something you can do for the asking. So (unless they got amazingly lucky) the writers would come up with an idea that sounded plausible, but was actually bad.
