This isn’t a startup era. It’s a startup cosplay epidemic. Everyone’s a “founder” — no product, no team, no traction — just a pitch deck, a landing page, and a LinkedIn bio that screams “building stealth.” They’re not solving problems. They’re solving for attention. – Copy-paste ChatGPT into a UI? “AI startup.” – Sell the same D2C crap with new packaging? “Brand disruptor.” – Raise from 1 angel? “Tech visionary.” – Quit in 3 months? “Serial entrepreneur.” It’s a generation obsessed with personal branding over product building. They don’t build. They post. They don’t iterate. They pitch. They don’t ship. They perform. This isn’t entrepreneurship — it’s roleplay in hoodies and hashtags. They want TED Talks before MVPs. Funding before users. Followers before feedback. And when it fails? No accountability — just rebrand and repeat. This fake founder factory is polluting the real builder space. We don’t need more startups — We need a reset.

Light isn’t just a wave. Electrons aren’t just particles. In the quantum world, they’re both—until you look. Observe them, and they “choose” a side. Don’t, and they dance like waves. Reality rewrites itself based on whether you're watching. Wave-part
