Jan VermeulenGUEST
And, uh, before the market collapsed into, you know, essentially the two-horse race we have today, plus Linux, right? So we have, uh, Apple and, and Wintel, um, and, and Linux.
Jan VermeulenGUEST
And on the cellphone side, it's very similar, where, you know, you, you had BlackBerry and Windows Phone and, um, Symbian, and, like, you, you had so many, uh, different options and then, you know, over time it collapses to, to a, a-

JeffHOST
Once you start thinking about this in physical terms of things that has to happen, not just in theory, oh, look, I developed a new synthesis protein that could destroy organic material.
JeffHOST
Cool, how are you going to build that? Well, that's where the humans come in.
