Curious are the ways in which a world born of binary, "carries over" and manifests the very same patterns in broader social settings, into seemingly unrelated levels of abstraction. Similarity across scales.
Binary winner-take-all, all-or-nothing markets?
There seem to be deeper natural forces at play; the proposed evil divide between the rich and poor just incidental symptom. Surface ripples in a powerful river.
Sure, but that's been the case for thousands of years.
The novelty is in the global nature of the competition, the physical and informational proximity that accelerate evolution of patterns. That's what makes them spread so quickly and prominently, across seemingly unrelated scales and disciplines.
Another curious manifestation is how humans are changing the way they treat each other, how they structure their (human) relationships. Did humans tame the computers, or did computers tame the humans?
