Those comments aren't entirely unreasonable. Money is important, but it can't be the be-all-and-end-all of a company. There are companies like Sun Microsystems

Those comments aren't entirely unreasonable. Money is important, but it can't be the be-all-and-end-all of a company. There are companies like Sun Microsystems, and then there are companies like Oracle. There are companies like Gandi, and then there are companies like GoDaddy. There are companies like Fastmail, and then there are companies like Google. I prefer to look up to the first group.

Sure. Agreed. However, I think it is entirely fair to say that this isn't a 50/50 situation where half the companies are evil. In fact, even companies like Google --which I have grown to dislike-- are not evil. They behave badly in some areas while doing great things in others. One of the things I have grown fond of forcing myself to say or think as a way to center myself is that reality can't be reduced to a single variable. Reality is a complex multivariate problem. As such, a reduction to a single variable, is both irrational and unrealistic. No matter the issue, there's a lot more under the surface than a single variable, issue, property, behavior, etc. A lot more. The sophisticated thinker will recognize this and try their best to avoid the kinds of sweeping generalizations that are, sadly, so common these days. Entire groups of people negatively painted with a broad brush is probably the most recognizable for of this effect today.
