This article gives absolutely no evidence except one person's opinion. The statements are so broad and general with no direct correlation between climate change and actual mental health issues.
I couldn't agree more! The best way to make it as a tech entrepreneur today is first to work for another great startup and learn from really smart people.
I'm always amazed to hear how many successful start-ups were founded by alumni from PayPal and Facebook. These guys learned how to build great products by first being a part of great teams.
I can see two sides to this...
1. Product /Market Fit.
2. Technolgoy hurdles.
If a product is just to visionary, it wont' get that crucial Product / Market fit. Users just aren't educated or understand whats how to get the full value from the product.
Secondly, a lot of technology hurdles as you mentioned in your article just take time to solve or at least make them cheaper to solve.
