When You Just Know

Future CEO... Oh no! Therapy NOW!!!

8:32 am... It's always interesting when a study comes out which verifies something that we basically already knew. I suppose there is some satisfaction in our intuition being confirmed. For instance, there was an astronomical study which determined that the universe had no preference for direction. Confirming that galaxies didn't all line up at particular angles or conform to any strange patterns which could not be explained by physics. Nice to know, and something that I had always presumed to be true.

This outcome, of course, is not always the case. For instance, we would have never guessed that most stars are binaries, or that the trilobyte beetle males have been so elusive because they simply look nothing at all like the females. So often, our intuition does fail us, because we base our assumptions on patterns and logic. Sometimes the logic is more complex than we understand, and the pattern has another level of detail which we haven't managed to uncover yet. Thus the need for science is so great.

Regardless, I stray far from my intended point this morning (Surprise!) as my desire was to actually comment on a recent study regarding CEOs. The study determined that more than 1 in 5 CEOs have strong psycho-/sociopathic tendencies. Well, that WAS a surprise... because my experience would have put that number at 4 in 5. But maybe I've just been lucky.

Their is a very feral aspect to most of the CEOs I have met. They're like humans who don't play human games anymore. Some are incredibly charming and friendly, warm and gracious, and don't in any way give a fuck about any of the people around them. They will lie, steal and undermine anyone and everyone to get the ends they're seeking. If Kant were alive to see the way business has eviscerated the morality of humanity, his head would likely explode. Everyone is a means to them, and the end is putting more and more money into their own pockets.

Don't fool yourselves, these psychopaths... They're the ones running things around here... 8:59 am...
