- ok_what_now 13y agoI don't mean this sarcastically or anything like that. Could help me understand what is wrong about what my taxonomy below? 18 year old kid = vassal customers = serfs venture capital = feudal lords The feudal concept has been pretty obvious(at least to me in my own reasoning) for at least 3 years now for me. That said I'm not an expert but that is my take right now.

By putting forth your own take in this way, you are likely to derail the discussion without contributing anything other than your own grievance. Your attempt at an analogy should be discussed separately, if you think you can substantiate it.
