To be fair, VC types are not in the business of ethical philosophy. Crypto was not the first tech hype, won't be the last one. VC types will continue to thoughtlessly promote whatever makes them the most money.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoWith my theory of everything that is wrong… MBA-ification is actually very very high on the list.
- kodapoda 3y agoI don't have much insight into MBA programs. But suspect that they give substance to a pre-existing world view, effectively provide tools for justifying (and even reinforcing) bad practices. This is a generalization, of course, but if someone is already a crook, an MBA would only amplify that.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoIt is that. But also efficiency above all else. Let’s run lean, let’s do it without human interaction, let’s push our solution first, we can force people in to this, etc. I used to think Ayn Rand’s comments about creators and consumers were smarts people vs dumb, but that isn’t it at all. I think we’re in a complexity crisis and MBA driven business and large government is in a race for unsustainability.
