But let's be fair. Can't the same be said of the startup tech industry? Tell me it doesn't exist to funnel money into select pockets? Why is it that Larry Page is a mega-billionaire, but people like Tim Berners-Lee or Linus Torvalds make so little?
Furthmore, can't the same be said about the ad industry that effectively bankrolls the internet because everyone wants to get rich building something that people won't actually buy directly but whose money they can get at through a back door into their pocket (because all ad money is baked into something else the consumer buys)?
- thatswrong0 10y agoOne type of funnel is voluntary, the other is not. Not only that, but one type of funnel breaks windows, the other could be argued that it creates them. Of course, it can be said that there is value created by having a strong military in that it protects our nations ability to innovate and create value.
