Quote:
I think to be really successful as any kind of executive or salesman, you have to be a sociopath. I am not exaggerating. Top executives and the world's greatest salespeople do not have consiences. If they had the emotional depth necessary to have a conscience, they would not be the money seeking missiles that they are. It takes a great deal of manipulation and ignoring of the feelings of others to make it far in that way of life, and success is the only thing that really gives them any kind of fulfillment. However, I think they do a lot of good for the economy and the production of our luxuries we like so much. They just need as many eyes on them as possible so they don't go too far out of bounds with their evil natures. Are weapons executives behind our perceived needs for war? I don't put such a thing past them for a second. It is definitely within them to pull something that evil. However, I don't think that is what is happening. Pulling such illusions involving the tendencies of large religious movements and the major policies of other nations would be very, very difficult and probably impossible.
Well your argument is very crude, stooping to nothing less than the overuse of the term "evil" which, as we all know, is a subjective term. "Evil" doesn't even exist outside of whatever humans define it to mean. You also mistakenly assert that the men of big business are out for money... oftentimes this is not true. Many businesspeople are in their profession because they love their job, others seek power. Your argument holds too many overgeneralizations and false presumptions to be valid.
