Why are tech bros so fucking demonic lmao, no humanity
It selects for the most ruthless and greedy to rise to the top.
Not always true but 99% yes
Different C word in this case.
A major key to success is being unethical. Not bright or smart, just the hunger for money and power at any cost.
I think they are exactly as demonic as you'd expect them to be.
Today in my country they caught two people that ran an NGO, which supposedly helped cancer patients by donating money to them. These people actually scammed both donators and the cancer patients, and used the money for traveling to expensive places and gambling.
This is probably the worst thing I have heard in a while, and I keep wondering how some people are allowed to breathe and do things like this, simultaneously.
Humans including myself are mostly shitty or juste pure evil. That's why it makes sense to create rules to force ourselves to behave in ways that respect others.
An exemple is Iike to drive fast, it's enjoyable but I don't because we created rules to protect ourselves and others. We need to have reason to go against our wants.
But our current society literally rewards you for being shit.
I'm glad the people in your story got caught it would be better if more like these got punished instead of rewarded.
Because government stopped breaking their companies when they got too big
And de-regulated company purchases and merges, letting some steamroll the competition
They've seen live in real time how they can buy a president if they have mass enough fortune.
They have something new to aspire to outside of massive hoarding of wealth.
