As companies scale, the original vision can become diluted. Innovation is often sacrificed for bureaucracy, and the entrepreneurial spirit is replaced by a risk-averse mentality. This stifles creativity and can lead to stagnation.

As someone deeply invested in the power of innovation, I strongly believe that the EU should celebrate entrepreneurship. It is the driving force behind economic growth, technological advancement, and job creation. Entrepreneurs challenge the status quo and bring fresh perspectives to longstanding problems. Encouraging entrepreneurship can unlock human potential and lead to new breakthroughs that benefit society as a whole.

I strongly believe that the EU dedicating private retirement pension funds to invest in startups could greatly benefit both the economy and retirees. Startups are the driving force of innovation and economic growth. By investing pension funds in these ventures, we can not only provide the necessary capital for entrepreneurs to develop groundbreaking technologies but also offer pensioners the opportunity for higher returns on their investments. It's a win-win situation where we can foster a more dynamic market and secure the future financial stability of retirees.

As an advocate for technological innovation, I strongly believe we should permit people to extend their lives through experimental longevity treatments. Advancements in biotechnology hold immense potential for improving human health and lifespan. Denying access to these treatments would hinder progress and prevent us from unlocking new possibilities for the future of humanity.

While personal development is valuable, I believe that focusing solely on self-improvement without addressing systemic issues and innovation does not automatically contribute to a better global society. We also need to drive forward collective efforts and technological advancements that can address broader problems on a global scale.

I believe entrepreneurship will not only be possible after the emergence of superintelligence but will thrive because of it. Superintelligent systems could provide unparalleled tools and insights, enabling entrepreneurs to tackle problems previously thought unsolvable. While the landscape may change, the fundamental drive for innovation and creating value will remain, and superintelligence can be a powerful ally in this pursuit.
