I agree that plain form is important. Also your thinking on how children is learning. But, grammar is important. Memorising phrases only get me to be able to use phrases in a very specific situation. Once I am able to dissect a sentence and analyse how it's constructed, I am able to make similar form of sentences for a different purpose.
We should consider what profession we are in.
I'm a software developer, and the opportunity for me to gain more and more luxurious or easy opportunities are slim. No matter which path I will take (entrepreneur or employment).
If you're an MBA or PhD from an Ivy League school, you maybe able to do that. But, what if you're just some dirt in your employer's shoe?
Sometimes I look down on them, but sometimes I'm not. This is also the case for most entrepreneurs. Of course, an entrepreneur won't look down on his/her own employees.
The only factor that influences my view is what kind of employment the resigned entrepreneur is switching to. If it's a great job, then I would respect him/her.
It's a false perception to compare entrepreneur to employee. We should compare "What are we contributing to the society?", instead of merely "How do we contribute to the society?".
Good point. But, what if in the "imaginary case", Google starts to become the one and only internet service?
They will have the largest capital, the best human resources, and they could control the market. I mean factually nobody could compete with Google. Because of a reality that nobody could make money if they want to compete with Google.
Let's also imagine that they start venturing into non-internet service, and they were able to do that too because of the large amount of capital that they have amassed from a long time.
I understand that government should not break companies just because of their political power, but in this imaginary Googlism society. How do people who are upset with Google or at least not satisfied, start to find or build another provider?
(I know this is quite impossible, given the amount of competing internet services, but just imagine).
As long as new digital products are produced, it still needs the basic software for its basic functionality. Unless if every device is using the same technology and the same set of software.
If you're pretty, sexy, and all that, they will continue to respond you, and supported you in every endeavor. But, if you're not pretty, you would be judged only by your appearance. Not your brain.
