Do you really want to live in a society where people go after businesses to make a quick buck no matter the consequences? I know that I self censor some of my ideas on the basis that I wouldn’t want to live with the results if they were wildly successful.
We all have an obligation to create a world that we (not the royal we) would like to live in. And that means constructing things with real, broad societal value. Think renewable energy rather than uber for liquor.
- cocktailpeanuts 6y agothis is like saying art should not exist. I'm likening these companies to artists (no value judgement attached). Artists make stuff they want to make, and it provides value to the world in some way. Otherwise they shouldn't exist. Artists don't deliberately make things with "real broad societal value".
