Aaron Swartz on Google and Sociopaths

Aaron Swartz writes:

So naturally the sociopaths are outraged that their control is being taken away. Newspapers, book publishers, television companies, ad agencies – their businesses are all failing, while Google’s is on the rise.

The thing that’s hard for the sociopaths to get their head around is that this isn’t because one of their rivals has outsmarted them – it’s just the march of technology.

The shift isn’t Google’s fault any more than America should be blamed for breaking off from Pangea.
