Europe has created zero companies worth more than $100B from scratch in the last 50 years. The US created every trillion dollar company in that same period. This reflects how American culture treats founders. We celebrate founders and give them the freedom to pursue ambitious ideas that initially look heretical. "As a country, we understand that there's something special about founders. There's a reason we call them the Founding Fathers. The primacy of people and being in a culture and environment that doesn't subjugate the human and allows you to pursue these things. No army that lost its morale ever won the war. Believing in yourself, believing that greatness is possible, is a precondition to being able to express it and realize it."
