Entrepreneurship Innate?

I heard this article on the NPR today covering a study on whether or not an inclination for Entrepreneurship could be found in the genes. Let me just start off by saying, I'm already opposed to the idea that one notion, either nature or nurture, plays a bigger role than the other in who we become; I think the impact of each is equal.

In addition to my stance on the matter, the fact that they were using really vague terms and phrases in their conclusions (at least some, cannot be guarunteed, may account for up to one third of, etc.) gives me all the reason I need to chuck the entire study up to a fat waste of money for the University granting it. To the researchers engaged in the study I have only one question: have you no dignity?

Okay, I have to confess I also harbor a little personal anger here too, if you haven't noticed. I mean, the very existence of the study is an insult to those whose parents aren't entrepreneurs and who themselves want to be one. Why? Because what the study tries to prove, is that they are likely to fail. Studies like this serve one purpose, and that's to formulate an outcome predictor for investors to buy into--and maybe to make the jerk who tries to prove it famous.

There's no end to the number of ridiculous interpretations such a study will lend itself to. What it is, is an insult to the human spirit, and I say, "Fuck it. Take your inconclusive postulations and shove them up your statistically insignificant asses." If any of those researchers ever read this, I'd owe them an apology, because I don't really mean to turn this into a personal attack on them; luckily there's no fear of that since no one really reads this anyway.

Anyway, Many Nights DTC
