Reading the comments here is now making me even more skeptical about society.
It really looks like;
It is a waste of time to take risk yourself and expose unethical practices conducted by the powerful.
Because,
A) The masses don't really care (I expected riots and protest).
B) You may mysteriously die.
C) Your death instead of sparking an outrage will mostly be labeled a "conspiracy theory".
Given these three items, I can very confidently predict this in the future.
0. We shall have less exposés.
1. Corporations and other powerful entities will engage in more unethical behaviour.
Due to majority of worker being spinless and complicit to corner cutting and other unethical practices.
2. Powerful entities will know they can get away with evil if they leave enough blanks in the engagement.
Since the masses will label these as conspiracy theories. And they will be stuck in these academic "plausible deniability" kind of foggy minds.
With this, I expect powerful entities to get away with more evil deeds.
In a crowd of a hundred, 50 percent of the wealth, 90 percent of the imagination, and 100 percent of the intellectual courage will reside in a single person—not necessarily the same one.

- sebstefan 3y ago> Due to majority of worker being spinless and complicit to corner cutting and other unethical practices. I think companies that might end up doing that kind of stuff first off cultivate that culture. Either in their entire company, or with the people who are going to engage with criminal activities. Security people, upper management, ... Like in the ebay case linked above https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal#Stalking_and_harassment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EBay_stalking_scandal#Stalking... I'm not sure we can deduce that most employees of the corporate world are cynical and unethical from just individual cases like this
- eternauta3k 3y ago> Due to majority of worker being spinless Are you seriously accusing most employees of being pions?

- alphabettsy 3y agoI’m disappointed that so many people immediately jump to conspiracy instead of more common/likely conclusions. He already gave his deposition. And the information is on the record. It was also him suing Boeing, he was not a witness for the government or some other party in these proceedings. I’m 100% supportive of a thorough investigation. I’m 100% against running with the idea that this man was murdered without any evidence of it.
