Re: Hoodwinked the Winklevoss twins - Does it not have the same outcome that greed or excitement is overriding morality? That's a very pessimistic view that you expect most people to function from a lack of conscience. You're probably not wrong that it's more common in the business world as well where there's more to gain. I used to think that too, still to some degree but I understand that most people's selfishness is give themself a comfortable amount. I think maybe you're confusing my saying he's sociopathic with that it's malicious or with intent, which I don't believe Mark to have conscious or willful intent for harm behind his actions; and he's not a psychopath.

> Does it not have the same outcome that greed or excitement is overriding morality? Yes but many things can override morality. I believe it all comes down to how strong you hold are to your morals. But I see your point and it’s probably the case. > That's a very pessimistic view that you expect most people to function from a lack of conscience.

I used to think that too, still to some degree but I understand that most people's selfishness is give themself a comfortable amount. I don’t think it’s a lack of conscience but moreso an overide of it. I think depending on the incentive a lot of people would overide their morals. Though maybe not most people. Idk.
