Thought experiment, to separate the essence of the product from its [[substrate]]: imagine all today’s limitations and technological, conceptual constraints no longer apply. Imagine you are an undefined point in the future where logistical problems have been ''solved'': you know, when there are flying cars, teleportation, we live in a virtual matrix and the analogue world has been conclusively proved to be an optical illusion. | '''Where are you going''': Thought experiment, to separate the essence of the product from its [[substrate]]: imagine all today’s limitations and technological, conceptual constraints no longer apply.

If it is, you can’t fix the problem without fixing the system. | ||
