I wish we could find out what part of these ceo’s brains are physically broken and fix it by force. There’s the whole Grey area of like is this ethical but if we could determine this defect without any error I think it would be a breakthrough similar to curing cancer.

Biological and psychological variance is an Internet part of humanity. When you say this I’m immediately reminded of fascist ideals and efforts to ‘normalize’ and ‘conformize’ people, and not just from this side of the spectrum. So I think this is a somewhat dangerous argument to make.
At large, it’s human nature to elevate these kinds of people, that’s why they end up in such high positions. I’m not sure we can change that. And that’s where regulations and requirements by law come in, as well as public record and press, to keep them in check.

I wholeheartedly agree. It does sound dangerously similar. Ultimately, the main difference would be that I don’t want to hurt people. I just want them to be compassionate. I think ultimately, they need empathy. Maybe if i phrased it that way, it would sound less messed up. But yeah, they need to have empathy and a guilty conscience. If we could make everyone have that, it would be a much better place to live.
Governments don’t seem to want to do enough about them. They’re willing to let millions of people die because of billionaires. It just seems absurdly cruel and we just have to kind of sit and watch or get trampled on too.
