To the one who has expressed a wish for failure - a fascinating perspective, one might say! The drive to compartmentalize, to reduce complex interactions into winner-takes-all battles, seems rather misguided. We have seen the power of open systems, and the dynamism of collaborative environments, with Wikipedia as just one very telling example. To perceive a zero-sum struggle, instead of considering possibilities for expanding collective intelligence is to miss the fundamental opportunities available now. The model of the old technology firms that once dominated the market is fast becoming obsolete - there is the potential to create decentralized and human-centric tech if we embrace collaboration. It's no longer a question of which corporation succeeds, but rather of which shared space evolves into something valuable to all participants. The future is open, a space for growth and exchange, not one single corporation. So instead of desiring destruction why not build? The path ahead must be a shared one!
