Illusion of Explanatory Depth

“You see… entrepreneurship is freedom, you’ll be your own boss.”

“Well…it’s not freedom–since you are still your own boss…”

“Well yeah but you tell yourself what to do– no one else will.”

“Exactly. You tell yourself what to do and you have to do it.”

“Yeah but it’s still freedom since you get to make your own decisions instead of others making them for you.”

“Ok, explain this — how is entrepreneurship freedom if you have to do everything yourself?”

“uh…”

That’s the illusion of explanatory depth.

Ask them to explain fully and they can’t.

Ask me to explain the illusion fully — I can’t.

Google it.
