Don’t a lot of companies exhibit symptoms of ASPD?
- vouaobrasil 3y agoThat is true, but there are two replies: (1) First, most large companies are essentially tech companies in some way, at least in that they exist to advance technology. Therefore, your observation is good reason to abolish large companies. (2) (Direct) tech companies often exhibit one symptom that other companies don't, at least in not such a strong way. Tech companies lie more often directly to the public: car companies, drink companies, etc. don't lie about making the world a better place, they just try to appeal to basal desires. Tech companies actually are deluded enough to think they are making the world a better place, and use manipulation to convince us that this is true.
- testacpwoek 3y agoThe fact that so many of them believe in that effective altruism nonsense shows why none of these people should ever be in control of such vast amounts of power and resources. They think they should have all the money and power because they're tech CEOs and have a maniacally unhinged confidence in their understanding of complex global societal issues / are straight-up lying because they're greedy, and the rest of us peons should just bow to their will.
- vouaobrasil 3y agoTech comapanies and CEOs are experts in the fine art of exploiting the prisoner's dilemma to quickly amass wealth at great societal expense, all within the system. I'm afraid the only way to solve this problem is a combination of educating society by making them more aware and taking tech companies down by mass public opposition / mob rule.
