a corporation's real job should be to obsolete itself: solve a problem successfully, use the profits to develop a decentralized solution. instead we see, over and over again, the invention of dependence, honed to an almost incurable addiction.

Isn’t there that quote that’s like, “Any entity that solves a problem is incentivized you persist the problem it solves.”

Aren’t some problems naturally persistent? To which point a company cannot obsolete itself. Razor companies provide a way to shave, but hair continues to grow back. Farms will always need tending, watering, tools wear and break down.
