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?
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.
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.

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