The solution (if there is one) is for the engineering/creative type to make and run businesses. Easier said than done.
- pdimitar 2y agoIndeed. That's a gross understatement even. And I'd argue that former nerds turn into predatory CEOs just fine, given enough time and money, too.
- dennis_jeeves2 2y agoWell, it's true that money/power generally corrupts people, but the vast majority of nerds are sociopaths (a fact, as far as I'm concerned) to start with, which normally does not manifest in their daily lives because they are heads down involved in their technical craft 24/7, it comes to the fore (predatory trait or otherwise) when they assume top positions in the hierarchy. Then I think there is also the relatively rare situation of assumed, sociopathy when one realizes that the vast majority of their subordinates (or in general people) are a pretty sorry lot, if one where to peel back the veneer of civility and virtue signaling. I suspect that at least some successful technical founders of large companies fall into the category.
