What does that mean?
I think I understand your point - that people like to create hero-narratives that are mostly not true, and that at high levels of achievement some very successful people carry the seeds of their own destruction.
Fair enough. But the Puritan America that you want to grow up is a straw man. And Dan Price is a effectively a nobody, who either assaulted someone or didn’t and as he’s been formally accused, it’s for the courts to adjudicate.
- adev_ 4y ago> Dan Price is a effectively a nobody Dan Price is not a nobody. He is a public figure, frequently in TV and media presented regularly as "The alternative CEO model that arrive to give to his workers excellent working conditions while having a successful and growing business". And yet, I can bet with you that whatever the judgement of the court will be, the American press will now (opportunistically) vomit on him for the rest of his days.
- Apocryphon 4y agoPlenty of publicly shamed and dishonored CEOs have come back from the brink, from Travis Kalanick to most spectacularly, recently, Adam Neumann. If Price is able to be found innocent by the courts, he would likely do so as well. He doesn’t need you weeping and clutching pearls on his behalf.
