I find myself agreeing with the author, surprising myself. I guess I have for a while but never articulated it.
I used to be big on the "move fast and break things" mantra. The world was ossified, so the narrative went, full of incumbents fortifying their positions with regulatory capture, and we needed a disruption, a fire to burn the brush so fresh undergrowth could spring through. They broke things with the promise of a better world and now the things are all still broken. They never got around to the building a better world part. Turns out that undergrowth was parasitic vines waiting for an opportunity to strangle the forest.
