      If I had to summarize the story of Silicon Valley, it's that a new company shows up, and everyone thinks it'll eat the incumbents' lunch, and then 10 years later we realize there's SO MUCH MORE LUNCH than we ever imagined.

      There is great opportunity in realizing a game everyone implicitly assumes is zero-sum isn't.

          True, although technology and competition can often produce *negative*-sum games. The market for TVs was decimated by cheap flat-screen tech. I wonder whether electrification and self-driving will mean the total value of automobiles sold in 2035 will be less than in 2020
