where did the idea that "markets of ideas" resulted in all the "wrong" ideas being removed from the market, one winner take all? that's not how (healthy) markets work, markets are about options "finally, one right idea" is totalitarianism

lol, everything is fine "in principle", because principles are irrational commitments monopolies are also *evil* in principle, by the same reasoning rape is fine *in principle* if allowing rape is one of your principles of course, monopolies are fucking awful for many reasons
There aren't really enough examples of non legal monopolies to tell whether they are good or bad

We haven't re-ran the big-bang, but we know that happened because of our best theories, and our best theories say: mergers are *bad*, microsoft is *fucking fucking fucking bad*, monopolies are fucking really bad

The market can decide whether the downsides are worth the benefits. And again, basically all examples of monopoly are legal monopoly
