You don't need to resort to extremely basic non-real world examples to show how capitalism works out when we live in a world full of capitalism.

Just because something seems like it _should_ be possible, doesn't mean that other worse consequences won't manifest.

This is an exceptionally real example. People invent things all the time and build companies around their ideas.

It's not "should", it's "is". This is happening, all over the place, right now.

I'm afraid I fundamentally disagree with your rose tinted view of capitalism.
You disagree with reality then, because what I'm writing is descriptive and not subject to opinion.
My earlier statement re. whether or not you're delusional stands then.

All the best.

No, but it does show you need to resort to insult in order to argue, which in turn reveals the weakness of your beliefs and hurts your own advocacy by not putting forward the best form of your argument.
It's not an insult. I genuinely believe this.
