I don't know about that, but it is flat-out psychopatic to claim that the rate of entrepreneurship in the US has declined when it has been increasing faster than ever in the past few years[1].

Neither of these things seem 'sociopathic' or 'psychopathic' in any way - maybe 'ignorant' or 'misinformed'?

> sociopathic ... psychopathic

I don't think either of you understand what those words mean.

Asserting that one's company hit a triple when it was born on third base is self-serving and manipulative.

[AnimalMuppet]

You seem to be asserting that this is what most "entrepreneurship" is. Can you justify/document that assertion, or should we just take it as merely one person's opinion?

[guscost]

So in other words, on this subject nobody is mistaken, nobody suffers from cognitive dissonance, and all disagreement happens because those who disagree with you are manipulative liars?

Ofc entrepreneurship has gone up since 2011, silly! Gallup has some info on long-term pre-recession trends, which blow the recent slight tick upwards out of the water. http://www.gallup.com/businessjournal/180431/american-entrep...
