Tech CEOs are a cancer on society and the planet. Ruining everything just to make fake numbers go higher.

    The alternative is running everything by committee, which isn't always practical.

    You can have a single person in charge without them having the title "CEO".

    Making your title CEO is also basically accepting a lot of the cultural baggage that comes with the term.

    It's sad how few of you have taken the time to research or attempt to start a business. Of any sort.

    People aren't evil for selling a service and registering it as a corporation which often requires a CFO and a CEO/President, even if the business has only a couple people. A lot of these businesses struggle financially just as much as any welfare recipient.

    Do you think the only people who aren't evil are the non-industrious? It comes across as pathetic parasitic envy.

    I hope we find a way to cure it

    Luigi found a pretty good solution.

    But, all jokes aside, the best solution is to start taxing these fuckers as hard as possible.

    What we really need is to speedrun evolution, and reach the next step sooner, where greed is no longer a factor and things are more globalistic, etc. You know, something sensible. Otherwise, it's just a cycle that repeats, even with people like Luigi appearing every now and then, and society cheering them on. The next cycle is behind the corner, at any time. We have to break the cycle with radical changes to human behavior and motivations in general.

    When we have the potential to reach post-scarcity, scarcity will become artificial solely for the purpose of wielding influence or expressing power.

    Evolutionary changes take millennia to happen. Even if you speed run things it will still be centuries before there's a change. You could try to manually curate genetic changes, but we've tried that, it was called Eugenics and led to Nazis.

    What we really need to do is accept that humans are still animals, and have all kinds of flaws due to our animal natures. We need to come up with ways of accepting and working with our animal natures. Males are inevitably going to try to do things to attract female attention so that they can "mate". So, maybe try to make it so that the things that work are taking care of needy people, rather than driving a big pickup truck or shooting a gun. Or, in the case of CEOs, accumulating absurd amounts of money.
