BTW, this very style of writing - shallow meme-juggling is also very telling.<p>There are guys like Sartre and Camous or even Henry V. Miller and his immitators, who have wrote volumes on this timeless theme - how the world is dominated by money-chasing mediocrity and absolute futility of this endless struggling and caused by it suffering. A few very good books has been written about realization of this futility and suffering.<p>So called social responsibility is also as old as humanity. Big Tibetan sects, which in fact were feudal landlords, used a concept of socially oriented Bodhisattvas, invented by pundits in Nalanda, in order to justify why every village should feed them, so they exist to benefit the whole society, which is just another Utopia, because each member of society is optimizing for very selfish, biological goals of survival and reproduction and protection of progeny.<p>In the context of a CEO blog post such populism is just the same kind of hypocrisy - socially responsible money making is no different from socially responsible authoritarian regime.<p>There is no need to protect or nurse a society. Just following of some evolved social laws, which could be found in the basis of every religion, and not intervening or abusing free (self-balancing) markets, which is, by the way, is idea as old as kicking speculators and money lenders out of the church, is enough. Society would take care of itself, as most of rural societies still do.<p>The &#x27;cure&#x27; for society, as it have been found millenia ago, is to behave yourself according to the natural laws, and everything else would follow. No amount of governing or policing will help. Behavior of each actor is what society is.<p>This, BTW, is exactly what America before corporations and big government used to be - a self-balancing society of free people with Constitution as the definition of its structure.
