Gardening

One thing I’ve loved about Farcaster is that there are so many farmers and gardeners

When we talk about free markets, I think of it like a garden:

I spent this morning, like many mornings, tending to my establishing seedlings while removing invasive plants.

These invasive plants evolved in a different environment with different kinds of competing plants and nutritional gradients, but in my garden they can easily grow out of control, suppressing surrounding plants with allelochemicals, extinguishing all of the native competitors and exhausting all of the available nutrition until they are not even able to sustain themselves.

What do we want from our free markets? Should everyone operate under the same rules? Do we want to allow a single incumbent to extinguish all competitors until they can freely exploit their customers?

How do we allow our blackberries as much freedom to grow and spread how they want, without too much negative externality on everything else?

i've been really into garden metaphors lately too lol
