i can't believe i still see someone thinking that βmarketplace of ideasβ means that the objectively best idea will win.
honey, that's not how markets work at all.
the βmarketplace of ideasβ means that the shallowest and most bigoted ideas will inevitably win, because *that's* how markets work!

@Stoori@polyglot.city The cheapest viable mass-produced idea wins. Not to mention that the underlying yet unstated goal on any market is to gain monopoly over it, not any "healthy competition".
