All these people far outnumber entrepreneurs who work for themselves and can think and make decisions for themselves.
Society is getting dumber all the time.

Where's the condescending attack coming from?
It's true.. to an extent, but many people are plagued by fears of uncertainty in taking that kind of action when they've established a life that maybe isn't all they want but is secure.
It's not because people are stupid, but more cause people are afraid. And there's no more uncertain time than right now.
Making it as an entrepreneur does require an amount of bravery and risk in the face of potential failure, and more so persistence in their vision and that's commendable in a lot of ways. But people who make it also are aware of that terrifying barrier into the unknown that one must cross to "make it".
I don't think people who've truly made it berate or belittle the majority for not making the decisions they did. People who've made it more often want to help others realize their full potential too and take more risks.
Clearly you're airing frustrations about your own shortcomings on some level, otherwise you wouldn't be so riled up about what others do or don't amount to. That's their life and their prerogative.
I know for a fact that it doesn't feel good to think about humanity in such a way. Because that's not who you are, and it's a viscious way to see the world. We all have the same chromosomes and baseline genetic make up. I think it's important to respect what kind of mentality and life others choose to create for themselves, even if it isn't what you would choose, and just go about your own business.
There is such thing as becoming your best self and still retaining a respectful demeanor and perspective of the world. It feels better too, trust me. You're just isolating yourself with that kind of thinking. And you'll burn bridges too. And successful self-made people know how to navigate social relationships with a variety of people. Its an essential skill.
