A Few Unicorns Are No Substitute for a Competitive, Innovative Economy
- Pica_soO 10y agoThe truth is, beyond all flashy propaganda- most human beings, and the companys run by them, hate innovation, especially if it disrupts. Thus, everyone mines the playing field against it: Patentlaws. Entrenched Thoughtschools and Polticial Pseudo-Sciencecults in universities. Eternally Secret Science. Special Interest Groups Against The New Thing. The Hug of Death by Giants whos cash cows could be affected. A public in fear of their jobs. Religious Demagogues looking for a scape-goat. Any attempt to act out against is basically enacting a law against what could constitute a solid majority of humanity. Corrosion would set in, the moment the ink went dry. So the core question is, how to prevent anti-innovation corrosion at all this institutions and constitutions.
