An apt reminder that we're all just meat bags at the end of the day.

  Yeah, I'm not including myself with entitled man-children that throw a tantrum when their garden is impugned. This is more of a reminder that our rulers are less ethical, less self-disciplined, and less wise than the average Joe. Why? Because they can be.

    In what sense are Credit Suisse execs "our rulers"?
    • jjoonathan 7y ago
      To the degree that they have money and that money is power.
      • guntars 7y ago
        Please, having “some” money certainly doesn’t make you a ruler.
      • microcolonel 7y ago
        Money may make you powerful in some context, but being powerful doesn't make you a ruler.

          power implies a degree of control over something, one doesnt need to have 'serfs' to be a ruler of some sort, i am the ruler of my raspberry pi, it will do what i say, and i am in control of it
          • microcolonel 7y ago
            The original question was about what would qualify somebody as "our ruler". I certainly don't see how I am ruled by a Credit Suisse executive, or how I would be ruled by such an executive even as a Schweitzer.

    It’s not far cry from a developer receiving an unwanted and negative code review. Hurt ego is hurt ego

    that's fantastic :-) Reminds me a little of an Asimov short (but funnier and better dialog)
