We've gone from a world, we've moved into a world of abundance and a lot of us are still thinking in the previous paradigm. The one thing I would say, and this is kind of relating to what we talked about last week, and that is what's good for the goose is good for the gander. But I think some version of that they need to accept around ideas and making sure that ideas don't get prioritized or deprioritized based on what it is that's in their best interest.
This episode surprised us; through a discussion of who is at fault in the latest series of new vs old-world spats, we realized that not only has the Internet fundamentally changed winners-and-losers, but also the very nature of economic competition and the type of regulation that is required.
