People have paid Beyonce > 125,000x the musician down the street. Why should tell people who want to pay her money that they're wrong and we should steal from Beyonce to give to a musician no one wants to pay? Are you saying millions of people are wrong to prefer her music over a musician? That you're smarter than all those people how they should spend their money?
Life is Pareto, theft amplifies pareto-ness (see Russian oligarchs during and after USSR)
- amelius 6y agoNo, this is a winner-takes-all situation. Basically, Bezos has convinced a bunch of VCs to make a pile of money so big, that they could be the winner in this market. Your Beyonce analogy makes little sense here.
- edanm 6y agoWhat do VCs have to do with this? Amazon has been a public company for quite a while (since 1997, in fact). Do you think Amazon "won" this market just by having more cash in the beginning?
