They have to attack the new system as their system fails. We have to defend the new system, but directionally a win is nearly inevitable because we have technology on our side and new technologies will emerge to do an end-run around whatever insane policies they legislate to box in existing tech.

I agree. In the long run, we’re gonna win. For now, we just need to keep fighting against the system and not let it deter us from building more.
