I think one of the big things that frustrate me in this post-Trump era is that people will see things are bad or wrong or terrible at an organization or institution, stay there, not do anything about it, and then when the larger organization gets caught get credit for quitting.
-
I'm fully aware that not everyone can quit a bad situation, I've been there, but that's different from top level ex-Trump staff getting flashy book deals or not being a big name at OZY that lends it credibility & then being like *oh who knew that bad shit was going down*
-
Or this endless run of Facebook *executives* who are like 'ooops we're destroying the world, pay for my new nonprofit to stop the company I empowered* which frustrates me to no end.
-
It drives me crazy because it means that someone like Holmes is really an edge case, in 95% of the times someone was in the same situation as Theranos they'd be getting a book deal, not indited...
-
We live in a capitalist society that creates active incentives for people to take zero personal responsibility, and the *less* responsibility they take and the *more* bad that introduces into the world, the *higher* the profit.
-
This especially drives me crazy in startupland. Isn't the endless prattling about libertarian values supposed to be *about* taking personal responsibility *above all else*? That's the individualist pitch right?
-
I have no solutions, just frustration.
