F*cking superb. Explains something many feel, but can't quite put a finger on. Smooth read. 4/4.

I love this, I've been trying to tell people this for a while now. And I totally agree with you on the iPhone 5s being the best model yet. People treat progress like it's some intrinsic virtue, but there's definitely a ceiling where you just get diminishing returns. I like that Thatcher quote btw, I believe the problem with both socialists and capitalists is that they overlook the fact that resources are finite and distribution of it is flawed in both systems.

Great work!

I can say with certainty that you just distilled every VC and tech companies’ growth strategy into this essay.

Things make a lot more sense when analyzed through an economic lens, but also a lot sadder.
