In other words, they were focussed to a point</em><br /><br />I think that a lot of what you do to succeed, for whatever you're successful at, <em>feels</em> like just drifting, in a certain way. For instance, I got into Stanford, sure, in part because I attended my classes, did all my reading and homework and studied for all my tests (not that everyone who does that gets to exactly the same place), but my parents had convinced me to see those things as pretty much the taken for granted default. Similarly, a lot of what I do at work is pretty much second nature to me at this point. When you're doing those things that are part of your taken for granted set of behaviors, it may feel like just coasting (and maybe it even is, in the sense that, if you tried, you could push beyond that to the next level). I suspect most "Zen" success is like that.Lynn Gazis-Saxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775215056055972392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9339191.post-80826863066269203142009-09-19T09:57:00.725-07:002009-09-19T09:57:00.725-07:00The real-life instance of industry collusion that ...The real-life instance of industry collusion that I'm most familiar with is the airline industry. Until Jimmy Carter deregulated airlines in the late 1970s, airline fares were pretty much the way you describe: the airlines all charged the same (high) rates, they all lived comfortably in unison with no real competition on price, and that was that.<br /><br />What ended that and made competition possible was <i>de</i>regulation: ending the Civilian Air Board rules that had made it against the law for some airline like Southwest or JetBlue to offer drastically lower fares on the same route as the main carriers. Until that happened, government wasn't the protector of the consumer -- it was the legal enforcer that made the airline companies' cartel <i>possible</i>.<br /><br />As a general rule, if you want to make sure that those big corporations run everything forever, you should by all means favor endless top-down regulation of private industry by the government. A big, established corporation can afford the vast staffs of Manhattan attorneys required to conform with such regulations. Startup companies being founded in their owners' garages just can't. That's why, while Sarbanes-Oxley hasn't totally destroyed start-ups in Silicon Valley, it <i>has</i> destroyed the IPO market for them, and thus made it far harder for startups to remain as growing independent companies rather than cash in by selling themselves to a larger existing corporation.<br /><br /><br />--Erich SchwarzAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
