0xtkgshn I think what Arendt means by active life/political existence is people who are doing things because they want to, because they believe they can do it better I think they are people who are motivated by "because I have the guts to do it" and "because I believe I can do it better". It is not necessarily absorbed by greenwashing labels such as "social entrepreneurship," but rather by people in general who take it upon themselves to work for the future they want to see. The figure is definitely what Island calls "selfish" (the exact opposite of altruism, which is the worst kind of ethic one can imagine from the word "social entrepreneurship"), and what Taleb calls "people who cut their own losses ".
