It took a long time for me to recognize how our successes don't contribute much to our moral intelligence... Which means too much success might displace moral development.

There is evidence that extreme wealth does the opposite - erodes morality by encouraging paranoia and cutting the wealthy off from community. Billionaire Wilderness is a great book examining this dynamic.

Apologies for saying it in a confusing way. I was just meaning that as we stack up success and wealth it gets in the way of learning positive moral lessons.

I think there are a lot of similarities between today’s tech billionaires and the doctors in the late 19th century who refused to wash their hands despite a proven germ theory.

This isn’t something I know much about!

“Just happens to be” as if he had nothing to do with how harmful it is. 🤦‍♀️

I thought this was an extremely kind and generous take. Not nearly what I’d say!

That’s really putting it mildly, Brigitte. On the evidence is in. Just this report alone came on Wednesday, https://www.yahoo.com/news/mark-zuckerberg-reportedly-blaming-former-121804852.html

It’s sadly hilarious the kind of bullshit that gets published lately. I thought Zuckerberg and his bros seemed completely unreliable from before they even opened Facebook beyond the Ivy League, so I was one of the holdouts who never downloaded or used any of his apps. Same for TikTok actually.
