the lesson here should be that we're not really much different from our ancestors of 5-50k years ago and because of that, concentrations of power (and by extension, influence) are inherently dangerous. leaders with too much power will inevitably make mistakes, and keeping institutions limited and focused means the harms from those mistakes are limited in scope.

in government, that means extending federalism: smaller governing bodies loosely federated (primarily for mutual protection and interrelational fairness). in business, it means truly competitive (and fair) markets with diverse participants, not oligarcal ones (like these platforms).
