Business in GritCult's archive is closer to a moral position than a subject: building something of your own is what serious men do, and a salary is a slow surrender. 1,435 posts touch it, peaking at 361 in 2021, and his heroes are founders rather than executives, admired for obsession more than for profit.
Views
The early posts frame business as craft and self-ownership. Growing up he thought Warhol a sell-out for calling business art, until he understood the point: business is a creative artform [1]. Having a business, he argued in 2018, is not simply another job, a distinction he felt popular culture could not grasp. His contempt for formal training is constant and deliberately provocative. One month of selling drugs, he wrote in 2019, would probably teach you more than a year of business school, because it is tinkering and learning by doing [2]. Later he told followers to watch Scarface instead of getting an MBA.
The slogan version arrives with the crypto boom: jobs are a scam, start a business [3], posted in 2021 and again in 2022, alongside lines about thinking your way out of wage slavery. His scorn is not reserved for employees, though. He is just as hard on the self-styled entrepreneur who spends more time reading books than making needle-moving decisions [4]. He has also praised salaried men who earn well and keep quiet about it. What he dislikes is less employment than performance: the person who talks about building and does not build.
His founder is defined by temperament. The best founders don't have balance, they have obsession [5]. First-time founders obsess about product, second-time founders about distribution [6]. Being a founder is one of the greatest convex experiences in life, because even failure teaches you more than 99% of peers who never take a risk, while success brings an upside that cannot be quantified [7]. He admires loophole-spotters and the delusionally self-confident, holding up figures as different as Napoleon and Adam Neumann as case studies in vision and self-belief.
The newest posts complicate the creed. In 2026 he argues that starting a small business is no answer to what is coming: AI agents will be better than every human combined at deploying resources, and businesses will be obsolete [8]. This is the last decade, he predicts, in which humans will work for other humans. The founder survives in that picture, but as someone racing the machines rather than escaping a boss.
Recurring themes
- business as a creative art
- learning by doing over business school
- jobs as a trap
- obsession over balance
- founding as a convex bet
- AI agents and the end of the firm
