The problem is not that a bunch of corporate CEOs sit around thinking about ways to hurt people or planet, because they don’t; the problem is that they don’t think it’s their job to have to think about it one way or the other. That’s how an amoral system produces immoral results.

Ridiculous logic from #TinkerBell

You make perfect sense.

Very true, though the Bilderberg convention suggests an elite kind of collectivism

And when they find out later that they harm people, there’s no real incentive to tell anybody or act quickly to fix. Corporate person is a person who can’t go to jail for killing people. The worst that can happen is they go out of business and all the leaders go open another biz.

Amen! So many people do not realize this because it interferes with their long standing world view.

Greed and short term self-interests have run amok and we’re all gonna pay a high price in the end.

Very true

The ‘silo-ing’ of moral consideration from business metrics (eg, externalities) is a truly powerful dynamic, driver of systemic action.

Exactly, the act if "business as usual" is polluting the planet amd adding to income inequality. It would be far easier to solve if it were just a six pack of comic book villains.

I would argue that they do though. The whole point is to exploit people and resources to make a profit. The harm is inherent, whether or not it is conscious or subconscious.
