I see open source and capitalism as very similar ideas. It really is summed up in the absence of rules. And I like the analogy from the article

> empty spaces do not remain vacant for a very long time

But this seems to be impling that we need rules otherwise they'll be taken up by greedy companies. I think this is underestimating the role of the individual, who ultimately is the one who decides who gets business.

Maybe instead of being "Google addicts" but expecting the everything to be balanced, maybe we should be more conscious and intentional about who gets our business.
