Well, you used the term originally, not I. Seems like we’re just on different sides. You cheer when there are positive data. I’m cheering mediocrity because it gives me more time to accomplish what I want.
Only time will tell which forces will prevail in a year or two. I’m willing to work, just in my own way vs in a more structured way. Same as you — you’ve admitted as much in the past. Disruption provides better opportunities for this kind of work.
More assets to buy at a reasonable price and charge for use of. More opportunities for contract work (less commitment, more flexible schedule) since companies are averse to long-term hiring.
There’s no virtue in work for work’s sake unless you happen to be a masochist. There’s only virtue in work done for the good of the world. But that kind of work can be done pro bono if one doesn’t have to worry about income stream.
