True, corporations are made of humans, and therefore corporate goals are axiomatically aligned with human goals right? Like when nestle started indirectly increasing child mortality in Africa to peddle baby formula, that must have been because they put humans first right?
It’s not as difficult to understand as you try to make it sound. The principle is simple: In cases where there is a disconnect between what is good for humans vs what is good for corporations, side with the humans.
- brigandish 7y agoNestle's goals were aligned with their own (or some of their own) humans, not all humans. There's the rub, and that's why it seems vapid, the moment you dig into the detail there's nothing behind it and somehow it still manages to ignore the reality - businesses are already human to human with humans at the core.
