It’s also survivorship bias. Given that a start up has explosive growth, it way more likely that they are amoral.
The ones who play the game with integrity and morals never have the type of growth that makes headlines. But I’m sure they exist.
- Nasrudith 1y agoThat really doesn't follow. Explosive growth guarantees amorality? What sin is inherit to success? Has envy become so embedded in our thinking that success alone is proof of guilt? Or is it just Original Sin style bullshit where everone is automatically guilty?
- conradkay 1y agoFar from guaranteed, but to be a moral founder you now have a second goal alongside growth. Inevitably the two will be in conflict.
- j7ake 1y agoDidn’t say guaranteed, I said more likely. To succeed, you have to execute many things well and avoid bad luck. Add to this an extra constraint that one also needs integrity or morals and it will drastically reduce your success rate. My statement will be true as long as having integrity or morals could hinder growth in some way.
