I don't really mind what you say (don't care about the issue), but I do care when someone very confidently extends a trend into the future, here even into eternity, based on nothing but "it never worked before". That's just extreme intellectual laziness, which is fine, until you start commenting and pretend you know more than you do. There is way too little argument in your argument.
- nickik 9y agoI said 'almost certainly' because after a 200 year trend that is a reasonable thing to say. Plus we have theories of economics of the firm that analyses the problems with these sort of organsiations. So I feel reasonable confident saying 'almost certaint'.
- Noseshine 9y ago> because after a 200 year trend that is a reasonable thing to say I don't think you understand how history works. Don't know if this is merely risible or sad.
