>CEOs almost always report to a board who can and will fire them for poor performance Maybe? It's not an infallible deterrent and it doesn't remove the incentive to avoid the consequences of bad management in the first place. >If you were looking for a figure who is "being bribed, not to deliberately, neglectfully, or ideologically, wreck everything" then you'd be looking for the chairman of the board and large investors with highly concentrated positions. I have no idea what you mean. How are they bribed and how would they "wreck everything"? >idea of them being bribed not to wreck everything is prima facie laughable; the reason they don't "want to wreck everything" is because they are looking to max their "society ELO" score Who says that can't be done by destroying a company? All you have to do is convince yourself that the world would be better off, and that you're not afraid of the consequences to yourself.
