That is a tremendously interesting (and cynical) essay, and I have learned a little more. Thank you for sharing it and helping open the minds of greenhorn idealists like myself.
"A sociopath-entrepreneur with an idea recruits just enough losers to kick off the cycle. As it grows it requires a clueless layer to turn it into a controlled reaction rather than a runaway explosion. Eventually, as value hits diminishing returns, both the sociopaths and losers make their exits, and the clueless start to dominate. Finally, the hollow brittle shell collapses on itself and anything of value is recycled by the sociopaths according to meta-firm logic." - a delicious description, even if not all that true
