You clearly didn’t read my argument. What you describe is exactly how it works in a state of nature, but in a state of nature there are no rules. You don’t have to obey anyone’s so-called “property rights.” You can just spear the people you don’t like. I personally don’t want to live (would probably die) that way, but if society is going to impose rules on us, it needs to offer something better than the state of nature. Right now it really doesn’t; it has 100 times the resources but offers only artificial scarcity and make-work to keep the wagecucks in line.

Your opinion of him is irrelevant to, well, everything.

Startups tend to be the worst of both worlds. All the process of big companies and al the risk and turmoil of small ones. Not worth it except to be a founder or executive. Anything else, you should instead get a big company job, get a promotion or two, and use the name and momentum to get something with real upside.

This, although I hate the phrase “earn a living.” The right not to preventably and painfully die should be unconditional.

True, in a state of nature, we would all have to work to survive, but we also wouldn’t have to obey anyone’s so-called “property rights” either. We could just use our hunting spears on the people trying to block our access to resources. If society expects us to follow rules, as it needs us to do in some fashion, then it should offer basic protection.
