Life is competition for energy. Given a relatively stable and a not-overly-manipulated ecosystem, life tends to diverge. Some life diverges into complexity by gathering energy flying from beautiful project to beautiful project, cherry-picking only nectar. Other life need not change much, and is ideally suited to bottom feeding and composting. It is compelling to work on energy-rich projects, Nature will forever however, have a niche and a need for bottom feeders. In times of change, simpler systems have an advantage.
If not overly-manipulated, marketplaces can mimic ecosystems. If a company is a keystone species, that company activity dramatically affects the resiliency of its marketplace. If a company can numerically document marketplace dependence on their superior work (i.e. document the economic losses of failure due to inferior design from other companies), that is a selective advantage. If we don’t have a selective advantage in our marketplace, consider change. Change is not essential; survival is not mandatory. Successful business judgment is not 'thinking-like-an-80-year-old-man'.... it is one's ability to change. Either find new ways to gather money-energy, or (and) find new ways to consume less. Business marketplaces have been dramatically manipulated in the last two years. Repercussions from this could last several years...they could last 25 years (e.g. Japan albeit with different boundary conditions from USA immigration and population demographics). Marketplace manipulation may delay, but it will not avoid the impending business foreclosures due to humanity relentlessly bottom feeding off of Nature's materials and energy.
