@pettter @alasaarela @drdelle ha ha ha I totally wasn't trying to say anything positive about Kissinger, I'm not that informed but wouldn't be surprised if he was a war criminal. But seriously, thanks for the main question. I don't think we want ONE company, but we may need SOME companies. We need to figure out how to best regulate these "natural global monopolies", and we haven't, but in general too little variation is brittle / DOA, too much is entropy. Modularity of some form seems to work.
