Tend to disagree

Stihl doesn’t exploit people. Billion dollar business in Germany

Würth doesn’t exploit people. Billion dollar company in Germany

Developer 🤓 build, develop and operate Farcaster solutions @ dtech.vision also love tech, decentralization, fitness and oldschool rap 😎

both are exceptions to the rule

having sociopaths and psychopaths with a total disregard for accountability in charge of business leads to cronyism and exploitation, among other things

there's a correlation between the dark triad personality traits and success in business, and that also comes with a side effect of being an exploitative douchebag along the way

I disagree hard! 

There is a correlation between determination, persistence and minimal compromise on achieving set goals.

That may come of as being an exploitative douchebag to your eyes or actually be one

Real world results show being a pure douche doesn’t fly forever

you can disagree with clinical research all you want

as for "real world results show being a pure douche doesn't fly over", check who recently got elected to EU parliament: a notorious far-left psychopath from Italy with a criminal record and prison time; nice reward, right?

from tech, I don't have to even go very far: Adam Neumann (WeWork) comes first to mind, Steve Ballmer, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Bob Swan (Intel); they all have dark triad personality elements

i gave you an example of psychopaths being rewarded, doesn't matter whether in tech or not; you can be a psychopath working as neurosurgeon

in fact, studies show that having dark triad personality predisposes to high stakes jobs, which is the biggest similarity between being a neurosurgeon, a politician, and a tech ceo

you only see the tip of the iceberg of those psychopaths in charge. for one Trump or Neumann, there's thousands of others who you don't read about in the newspapers

You‘re now going from Business owner to politics
