@michaelshermer@elonmusk@JeffBezos@BillGates@finkd Elon doesn't belong in that category. Not after you do a careful accounting. Nothing he's done has turned a profit in the free market. W/o forced taxpayer help & war on gas, EVs still couldn't exist. He runs a pyramid scheme.
@fermsyishere Nobody cares what you supposedly once believed in. That's a tired ploy. It's the arguments you make today that matters. And if you argue for a "designer" that can't figure out how to created life w/o creating cancer, you don't have much of an argument.
@GadSaad@RichardDawkins God got an F in "life design". He couldn't figure out how to created it w/o cancer. "F" in planet design also. It's full of tsunamis that kills innocent people.
@rfcwwide@Handre Isn't the "current loony system" inevitable? Thus a baked in problem?
Seems like a small portion (5%) of any profits derived from using someone else's idea, for a certain period (10yrs?) is all that's needed. That would stand in the way of products being introduced to the market.
