    No decent person looks at the world and says “you know what I want, a billion dollars!” So why do you still expect such people to behave decently? Or to learn from their “mistakes.” (They’re not mistakes.) It fucking blows my mind how some of you are still giving these parasites every benefit of the doubt.

      Also goes for every fucking trillion-dollar corporation, by the way (yes, even the one you work at personally).

        @aral In her book "Outsmarting the Sociopath Next Door" Martha Stout demonstrates how corporations meet the diagnostic criteria for sociopathy / psychopathy. Legal persons do have personality disorders.

          @aral I am immensely suspicious of anyone who wouldn't choose $100 million dollars, plus $900 of good charity and foundation work. $1 million dollars lets you retire young, $10 million gives you unimaginable freedom... I imagine $100 million is probably better. But a billion? What could I possibly do with a billion?

            @aral "Has/wants a lot of money" is a character flaw.
