“Competition is for losers” lecture by Peter Thiel at Stanford lays out very clearly that none of these mfers actually wants competition once they dominate an industry.
everyone likes to point at 1984 and the dystopian future but I disagree. I’m of the opinion that the message of that story is more directed to the people who conformed and end up at the bottom of the food chain, locked in a hell of their own choices.
The real inspiration for 1984 is Jack London’s The Iron Heel
it’s so absolutely on point about our lives right now under capitalism and these ultra rich assholes.
Published in 1908 and never more accurate about the world today than anything I have ever read.
Just because meta sucks doesn’t let apple off the hook for anticompetitive behavior
Zuck is fine with anticompetitive actions, he just thinks you need to InOvAtE to earn the right.
