Why build moats? Moats are filled with sewage and stinky, built for petty tyrants. Tech trees are expansive, and organic, monuments to possibility.

I’m astounded by how often the concept of “building moats” comes up. If you think the technology you’re building is good for the world, why not laser focus on expanding your tech tree as quickly as possible vs. slowing down and dividing resources to impede the progress of others?

Also, you don't actually "build" moats—you DIG them, and then you fill them with water 👇 There's much more allure in building than in digging, so maybe if people get the verb right, then they'll stop using the noun.
