My takeaway from this is that what would have saved this man is a proper liberal arts degree. I can't deny that there are reasons for engineering degrees being as focused as they are, but he clearly didn't get the chance to work out his philosophical ideas in an appropriately challenging environment.

My takeaway is that an engineering degree doesn't have anything to do with a guy that, from that message, looks to me as an arrogant narcissist (by how smart he tries to be) who likely doesn't have trained too well his acceptance for frustration and who seems to give in his impulses disregarding anything else. And your takeaway is, for me, infantile, naive and dangerous. This guys is not a victim of a system, this guy is a killer, whether we like that CEO or not.

  Very contrarian take I think. Most people see that the CEO isn't just unliked, he's actively responsible for the deaths of many. So, for many, his death is justified. As the legal system would never find him guilty for something all knew he was guilty of.

    > So, for many, his death is justified. For the majority? Come on, if you guys don't like private healthcare (and why would you?) then there's a democratic process you can follow to change it. Encouraging executions on the streets might feel good, but it's not going to achieve anything, even if you think it's justified.

        No, of course not. Have you honestly given up on democracy over there? If your country weren't so damn big, I would just pity such a descent, but as it is, it's terrifying to the rest of the world.

        Are you seriously asking people that lost family members because of the greed of C-level individuals to not lose hope on allegedly democratic processes that can't solve their issues?

        No, I'm asking them not to murder people.
        meiraleal 2y ago
        You are asking them to not kill CEOs

        Yes, absolutely. My entire life I've watched this play out. Not once were we ever close to free healthcare for all citizens. For every human that demands this there are thousands of dollars of lobbying at the ready and lawmakers don't even cost that much. You can apparently buy off a house rep for as little as $20k.

Or, it's good he didn't get a proper liberal arts degree, so he wasn't saddled with mealy-mouth excuses for why things are the way they are.
