I think we'll have to agree to disagree that that's not gatekeeping.

Becoming an astronaut is far harder than becoming a founder, yet we wouldn't dream of telling children not to think about becoming one.

What other people say is an important force. The reason I mentioned Jessica is because much of her work has been to convince people who otherwise wouldn't become founders to start companies. I think she has more experience than either of us, and she doesn't seem to agree that the thesis here is true.
