Too many people go down tracts of conservative career ces, he says. And given the difficulties of becoming an ante prinora and the pull of conformity, how is it actually socially what kind of intellectual or ideological reconstruction do we need to get people out of so many of these conservative career choices? It'si hard to say. I think im quite sceptical of that as a, a, as a term. But i'm not worried about it like i would have been in 90 ine two thousand. So my view is we should be starting more good businesses and fewer bad ones,. Not more businesses in the abstract, not more start ups in the abstract.
