    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.
