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.

I did. Today we focus on the individual at the expense of the collective, but communism focuses on the collective at the expense of the individual. Both are wrong.

Individualism and collectivism are actually moral standpoints, what's you're thinking of is individuality. For instance individualism is the idea that your right to own a chemical plant is more important than everyone else's right to have clean drinking water.

Forging a healthy balance is the goal of a healthy society. Yes, you’re able to put your factory wherever you want; but no, you can’t do it in an environmentally destructive way. What’s happened over the last few years is that we turned rugged individualism into rugged narcissism

Rugged individualism became rugged narcissism automatically due to climate change and increased population density; everything impacts everyone else.

Here's the thing though, that factory is operated by hundreds if not thousands of workers whose lives and living standards are entirely dictated by its institutional power. And under individualism there is no democratic mandate in this critical authority.
