    Why would anyone be surprised? A good CEO has the best interests of a company in mind.

      No one is surprised. They’re just pointing out that a good CEO is a bad person. We don’t need that in our society. Only the rich need that.

      We shouldn’t glorify antisocial professions.

      Being a CEO of a publically traded company has become a firmly antisocial profession.

      These people don’t work to benefit society, they work to benefit themselves exclusively by extracting as much as they can from society.

      Then again, our culture seems to despise people in pro-social vocations like teachers and nurses, so maybe I’m wrong and we should keep trying to beat each other to death and fuck each other over to “win.” Maybe, if we do it well enough, we’ll be gone, which means the planet wins.
