Who is going to replace Google for us?
Fifteen years ago, Google was &quot;the web company&quot;. They weren&#x27;t about walled gardens; they were about the future, which was the web. It turns out they only liked it so much because, back then, Microsoft was bad at it, giving them a comparative advantage.<p>We&#x27;re living through another tragedy of the commons, but the culprit isn&#x27;t human nature itself, so much as it is capitalism. The corporates have made sure they have absolute dominion over human usage of time and space, and anything they don&#x27;t value (or that might represent opposition to them, now or later) dies.
