A lesson in business evolution
One of the benefits of living longer is you get to see patterns that you couldn’t have seen in less time, because the pattern frequency was on a time scale longer than your span on the planet to that point. The downside is that by the time you recognize the business pattern you may no longer be able or willing to take advantage of the knowledge.

Or my heirs, more likely.
