    -   [[Apple]] started making the most money when they had the platform through which they sold apps made by others and took a percentage of all sales.
    -   A form of [[Rent]].
    -   [[Google]], [[Amazon]], others as well.
    -   I guess this is where it's quite similar to [[platform capitalism]].
        -   I guess Varoufakis is saying it's something qualitatively different, Srnicek is saying it's a new evolution of capitalism.
        -   Either way, seem to be in agreement that it's big, new, and bad.

-   [[Life]] wants to be; life doesn't always want to be much; life goes extinct; life goes on.
    -   I noted that down when listening to [[A Short History of Nearly Everything]], which says something like that - need to go back and find the exact quote.

-   I'm returning to a bunch of fleeting notes I've logged in orgzly over recent months, that haven't made it to the garden yet.
