    The funny thing is that nobody seems to see the most problematic connection:

    Companies „manage expectations“ (do the exact same but use a fancy name)

    Intelligent people with lack of morals mimic this behavior and rise to the top

    These new CEOs further this trend.

    Now every other person does it too (obviously not everyone).

    People start to become sick from exhaustion, commit suicide because the world is getting more and more ruthless.

    Everyone excuses it as „thats just capitalism“ or „you just need to grow a thicker skin“.

    Thats why people freak out and commit acts of terrorism, because others could not care less about their daily suffering.

    We need compassion, folks.

      Couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately some systems are designed without compassion as an inherently necessary factor, or even discourage it.

        Exactly. Compassion makes people flock together and be less governable though. People who are scared and infight a lot are the easiest to manipulate and exploit.
