I really think competition is good in one sense.
But of you think logically from first principles, it makes no sense to have both an a320 and 737.
All this competition and “corporate greed” where we literally have two airplanes that are functionally identical rebuilt from the ground up is an huge, massive waste of human capital and enabled by the government through monopoly of copyright and patents.
While I think creators should get paid, I wonder if there is a better way to manage copyright that what we do.
I think the government granting this extreme of a monopoly on copyright is one of the weirdest things we tolerate.
There has to be a way where we can statutorily authorize copying at x% fee or something.
That way we don’t build two copies of the same thing!
