I had this thought the other day - people talk about entrepreneurs taking risks but in most cases, there's no real risk

the risk is so negligible, it might as well be zero

real risk would blow our minds - it's unimaginable, incomprehensible

imagine free soloing El Cap or fighting on the frontlines of an active war zone, that's real risk

so out there that your brain rejects it entirely, that's real risk

almost none of us know what risk really is

I think it’s more about what we’ve trained ourselves to see as 'risk'
people usually avoid the kind of risk that actually matters - regret, stagnation, not chasing what calls to you.

we rationalize, optimize, play it safe. and existential risks like war, illness, wasting your shot get buried under comfort zones.

maybe entrepreneurs just choose their risks more consciously. not less afraid, just more awake to what’s truly at stake.
