@jeffberwick your article is pretty much spot on , 'we' as people are more afraid to get out of our comfort zone, so giving up on what we have would take us outside our comfort zone which we are not as a society to do so. We are so used to following the path of the people before us, that innovation is starting to become scarce from my point of view.
Fear of losing what we have is another reason, it seems nowadays we luck 'sentimental freedom' or some sort of it, i wish i wasn't part of them though!
Welcome to the socialist society which destroys everyones dreams.
Well said monaco1. Communism is the antithesis of freedom. For example, in communist countries you were told what career to take. A relative of mine was fascinated by electronics but had to train to become a taylor. Ridiculous! Fortunately communism's collapse allowed him to return to electronics. Enforcing "isms" on people will never work.
Yeah it is comfortable to get a fixed paycheck at the end of each month or week or two weeks. But 9 to 5 jobs can really tie you down in terms of creating something for the long term like a new business.
