Yes, people deserve second chances. No, they can't become C.E.O.'s because C.E.O.'s are effectively unelected government officials of the United States and the same criterion that says it's a bad idea to let him run for president means it's a bad idea to have him continue being C.E.O.. It's not like "bad man become good and pays back debt to society as a small-time business owner" because of the power differential. Interesting story though.
But if you deny people second-chances, then said criminals have no incentive to make amends. If they cannot make amends due to it being absurd, then society should be prepared to reduce them to menial slavery... because that's the only other way to prevent them from continuing the bad behavior (given that society made it impossible for him to move on from the past).
I have discovered that there are exactly three objectively unforgivable offenses:
1. Inducing another human to despair thereby depriving him of a right to a future.
2. Accusation with the intent of marring another human's soul with eternal guilt.
3. The deliberate and intentional reduction of another human being to slavery.
Notice that being a murderer isn't one of them.
- Gollapalli 6y ago>because C.E.O.'s are effectively unelected government officials of the United States This is a really, really interesting take on it. I happen to agree, but if they're public officials, then how do we square the absolutely massive incentives to action at the expense of the public good?
