- pessimizer 5y agoYes, it's strange that any business manages not to make money, because obviously the people running them are the best people making the best decisions, because in the best possible world, who else could they be? > random internet posters This is solipsism. Just because people are random to you doesn't mean they're random to themselves. You could literally be arguing with an executive of the company that was overruled, but you're seeing the world as full of NPCs.
