Very good points, thank you. I don’t even want to disagree with you too much. The system is the root cause of the problem. If I understood you correctly, we’re in agreement on that.

However, while the system exists, having the right people in these leadership positions is important.

I recognize that many people in leadership positions receive compensation that seems insane compared to the value they contribute to society - or often even to their shareholders!

I just honestly still believe that it’s incredibly hard to pick one person to lead a billion dollar enterprise. That’s not a common task, I would assume. And being a sociopathic egomaniac is kind of the barrier of entry for these positions anyway. Could you pick the right candidate from a pool of people with those disorders?

Still, I hope we agree that this is systemic.
