Wasn’t there a study showing a large correlation between CEOs actually being psychopaths? Supposedly that’s the trait that makes them hyper successful since they only care about themselves?
I can confirm this.
I’m working with a billionaire as ceo and they are assholes + have serious mental issues (especially when it comes to money e.g. loss aversion)
They are constantly aggressive towards their workers and cannot formulate at least one understandable sentence, they are also not hearing alarm bells from their workers
Our systems reward that. Capitalism is about becoming the winner and taking more than everyone else, thats how companies grow - they kill weaker companies.
We have essentially created a system that works like the animal world, except animals also only kill what they need to survive, so we are worse.
All this intelligence and this is what we do with it. :)
I often think of what humanity could achieve if the old consciousness would disappear and we worked together to create a society of happiness rather than capitalism.
It would be a dream planet. We have everything we need to do that. Everything.
Except we don’t have this dog eat dog capitalism you’re talking about. We have communism for the rich because these big companies aren’t allowed to fail and are taking unlimited subsidies from us to destroy us. If they do start to fail the government gives them unlimited bail out money without any provisions against them giving the money to themselves . If by some freak chance a company does fail or fails because the shareholder class grifted all the wealth out of a company the CEO’s get huge handouts because the wealthy aren’t allowed to fail. Even failing is winning when everything is a grift paid for by the working people. The system you described is what workers have cut throat capitalism. If you lose you literally die.
Accurate. Tech executives often see themselves as so far ahead of the rest of the world that they’re truly a different species. They see a world full of legacy stupidity and think they know better. The constitution is an artifact to them, not an ideal. Their actual ideals are unhinged nightmares of uploaded consciousness and the like. They don’t consider themselves human but post-human, or at least eager to become so.
Holy fucking shit these people aren’t human.

There’s more than one. Here’s a whole wiki article.

There is also a book called Snakes in Suits: when psychopaths enter the work place.
Yes

They’ve done so much ket that they’ve blasted that ages ago.
