I think the burden of proof is on those saying, "This time it will be different."

Well, why don't we apply the scientific method and try it out! This industry was built upon experimentation and radical thinking.

  • Unionization is much more of a social experiment than a technical experiment.

    • And what is ridesharing, house-sharing, cryptocurrency, or social networking? Or open source software for that matter? As software eats the world, technical innovations are creating social situations that have never existed in the past, creating social experiments whether intentional or not.
