  Ah, ok. So for my next question, why is seeking infinite growth not a psychotic delusion?

    You’re making the assumption that all “bosses” mentioned in the article are people seeking infinite growth.

    You’re making an assumption about a group of people you know nothing about and trying to link them with people suffering from psychosis. Essentially grouping “people suffering from psychosis” together with “greedy CEO’s”. Whereas greedy CEO’s could also simply be narcissistic, selfish or just evil.

    By grouping them with psychosis sufferers you’re denying the sufferers their humanity.

      Greed is a symptom of possibly many mental conditions. You’re all over the place. All these things you’re arguing against are well established ideas, both in common experience and the psychological community.

      You also seem to be using darvo.
