Is it not that we grant that person no reward, and instead take from their story lessons to our benefit?
The little in the story that speaks about the author, is necessary as a vehicle to narrate the experience.
The crux of the story is sales, and how it worked. The core point was the dehumanization, as well as the people who are the most effective in this era.
Also, I can appreciate someones shoes, while acknowlding they are a terrible person. Style isnt the causative factor for criminality or bad decision making.
- vasco 2y agoA more mature position than mine, thanks for perspective.
- namaria 2y agoYes, if people are being crooks I'd rather know about it than to believe everyone has the same ethical code as myself.

I think that this is the way how most reasonable/average people will view it? Reading the article doesn't make me think: "Gee, I should swindle some people out of a lot of money for personal gain!" but rather feel happy that my own career doesn't put me in a spot where I'd need to do anything similar to that. And even if someone does take that as a playbook, it's not like the article is advocating for that or that author would benefit from that (e.g. like the lifestyle gurus and self-proclaimed pros at anything, that are almost always selling courses, often coupled with a get rich scheme).
