What mattered to me

It used to matter to me that the big fish did not eat all the small fish. This is still true.

It used to matter to me that technology won out because it was better, more fit for purpose, and/or enabled, invited and inspired new ways to think. This is still true.

It used to matter to me that people made informed choices for themselves, and were allowed to do so by their peers. This is still true.

None of this came to pass.
