> In the consumer space the best usually does win

It was like this with capitalism. But we live in an era of Technofeudalism, where it's not the case anymore.

Yeah, well, that's how capitalism was meant to work, but mostly seems to have been implemented with various thumbs on scales (which is also true for most of the -isms).

Feels kinda like the thumbs on the scales resulted in the (d)evolution towards techno-feudalism.
