Yahoo and Hotmail could be substitutes for Gmail...I guess. Good luck. Google Search has no reasonable alternatives. Google Chrome can be replaced with Firefox. Do note that 90% of Mozilla's revenue comes from Google. YouTube has no vi

Surely you can see the endgame here. Amazon employs 1/3 as many people per dollar of revenue as Walmart does. Imagine a world where Walmart automates itself to a level comparable to Amazon. Lo! Watch as 1,452,000 jobs melt away! And th

If Zeus himself descends from Mount Olympus and says to you, "I am going to reestablish slavery in society. I will select slaves by lottery, and when it's all over most of the population will be held in the bonds of slavery. No on

Next year, I'm going to be a freshman to Podunk University, Nowhere. I'm not very happy with my situation, but I know that it's one of my own making. What sort of things - besides an academic excellence I didn't display

The intrinsic value of USD is near zero. Useful in a post-apocalyptic as fire kindling, and not much else. Its perceived value is powered through the USA's massive military, political, economic, and financial power. Perhaps Bitcoin has

There have been several mass extinction events in the last 500 million years that resulted in the disappearance of the majority of animal life. We're here today through the virtue of our (500 million years of) ancestors who picked up,
