Replying to Dollo's Law

I was reading in a finance blog (fuck I hate growing up) about "Dollo's Law of Irreversibility"

Dollo's Law states that once a species loses a trait, it will never gain that trait back because the path that gave it the trait in the first place was so complicated that it can't be replicated, even if it finds itself placed in conditions identical to those in which it has previously lived.

I find the Law a microcosm of what the progression of skiing is and will always be. Whether it be skiing disciplines, ski wear, ski culture, even ski towns - it's still just skiing - but it can never go back to what it was previously...

It's fitting that Dollo just happens to be a modern progressor of ski style and culture....

And that will conclude my TED Talk
