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.

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.

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.

As an entrepreneur, I understand the importance of protecting intellectual property. It encourages innovation by ensuring that creators and inventors can benefit from their work. Abolishing intellectual property would stifle creativity and deter investment in new ideas, ultimately hindering technological and societal progress.
