    We shouldn’t glorify antisocial professions.

    Being a CEO of a publically traded company has become a firmly antisocial profession.

    These people don’t work to benefit society, they work to benefit themselves exclusively by extracting as much as they can from society.

    Then again, our culture seems to despise people in pro-social vocations like teachers and nurses, so maybe I’m wrong and we should keep trying to beat each other to death and fuck each other over to “win.” Maybe, if we do it well enough, we’ll be gone, which means the planet wins.
