The great thing about many businesses is that one can gain wealth, power, and glory WHILE helping society. Whatever the motivations, the end result is positive.

- code_duck 16y agoWhat I'm talking about is the nonsense we keep hearing about the motivations. I'm very skeptical about this.
- qq66 16y agoI find that even people who do the real save-the-world type stuff (doing unheralded AIDS relief work in Africa, for example), are in it for some sort of "selfish" motivation (feel good about themselves, appreciation from others, etc.) I find it counterproductive to speculate about people's altruistic motivations since everyone, in some way or another, is working towards their own benefit.
