 Question actually goes to the lawsuit between, from Epic against Apple. Epic Games, Apple says they violated their service agreement for being on the app store. Epic says they just wanted to give users a lower cost rate of buying add-ons. Megan Demusio, Executive Director of the Coalition for App Fairness, which Epic is a part of, says, we are pleased that the trial shined a light on Apple's anti-competitive app store practices that limit innovation and hurt consumers. With greater awareness of Apple's conduct, there's growing support around the world for our goal of a fair app marketplace that will benefit all developers and their consumers. Now, none of these people are stupid, right? I mean, if you went to them and said, hey, if you don't like what Apple's doing, why don't you create your own Apple? They know how unbelievably hard that would be to recreate what Apple has done and the value that Apple has created. And so if you pushed them and said, well, why is it that you're suing Apple? All they could really point to it and say is, well, we think what Apple's doing is illegal under antitrust laws. So what is it gonna take to get the public, and eventually the senators, congressmen, et cetera, to say antitrust doesn't make sense or punishing companies for being successful because if Apple didn't make a very good product, they wouldn't be sued right now. It's because they make a great product that Epic is suing them and Google at the same time for the same thing, monopoly domination of the market. But of course, that's how you get large market share and therefore become a quote monopoly. Oh yeah, Chinese. Nick, you're not muted. Let me mute you, I muted you. Okay, that's how you get big. You get big by being successful. You get big by creating great products. You get big by convincing customers to buy your product and not the competitors. You get big by dominating, which means being successful, being good at what you do. But they see, they don't care for two reasons. One, an economic reason, one, a non-economic reason. The non-economic reason is it's just not fair. It's just not fair that some people succeed and others don't. It's just not fair that Apple has created such a great product and I have not. It's just not fair that all this is going on. I want, I want, I desire, I feel. That's it. It's emotion and it's appeal to altruism and appeal to victimhood. And now that they've achieved this, they're crushing the little guy, so no other, no new Apple could rise up, which is complete nonsense. I mean, look at the market cap of Zoom and look at all the companies that have been successful over the last year that have been, that have done phenomenally well, in spite of Apple and Google, in spite of Google having a competing product, Microsoft having Skype. How did Zoom beat Skype? If Microsoft is this mighty big tech company that crushes all opposition. So it's appeal to emotion and morality. But then there's also an economic element to this. Anybody who's taken an Econ 101 class knows this. Monopoly is a bad, monopolies are inefficient. If we break up monopolies and create a perfect market, perfect competition, we get cheaper, better goods. And nobody makes too much money because there's no profit in a perfect competition so that it's both fair and we're better off. Now, the fact that that is, I was gonna say voodoo economics, but that gives you, that's, that's, you know, voodoo doesn't deserve is associated with the stupidity that this theory is. It is completely detached from reality, complete mysticism. You know, no serious economist who's ever looked at the world rather than mathematical models would take any of this seriously. It's complete nonsense. And yet, you know, this is taken as economics and it's taught. I always say, of all the stuff in the economics textbook, the one chapter I would just rip out and shred is the chapter on perfect competition because it does so much damage to the average person's understanding of economics is that's what they, you know, where does the average person to the extent they go to college get an understanding of economics from economics 101? And that's what's taught. So what's it gonna take? God. I think part of that answer is, it's gotta be rational argumentation, which means supporting the Euron Brook show more. A thousand Euron Brook shows. It's a thousand Euron Brook shows. It's intellectuals in every field. It's good economists with good philosophical foundations. It's completely turning everything, challenging everything out there. Challenging everything out there. It's gotta go. Yeah. And it's gonna take time. And it's frustrating in the hell because the stupidity is only increasing. It's not going away. What we need today, what I called a new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist roads.
