I agree with your comment, but think it's largely unrelated to my point. My point isn't to cast judgment on people with dark traits. Rather, it's to provide an answer to the original question of whether people with dark pers

If I'm not mistaken, your claim is that: In times of crisis, leaders need to clearly and succinctly convey direction. This is generally a good rule to follow because we want to maximize compliance, and being anything but succinct defea

I agree that it's best to choose values that are within your control. Once you choose intrinsic values, you'll generally find that you need to make money to best align your actions with your values. The question, then, is how do

True but besides the point. They want a more forthright expression of empathy. If you simply prefaced your comment with “I really feel for our frontline workers.” they’d upvote you instead.
