> It’s unfortunate that so much money flows to certain VC firms when people like me exist since I reckon I’m much more aligned with what the general population wants.
You sound like a pretty good dude
The study of Ethics is such a double edged sword. On one hand you have people who study ethics to think about how to treat people well, on the other hand you have people who study ethics in order to treat people as poorly as possible while still being "ethical"
I don't have a ton of firsthand exposure to the decision making process of huge corporations, but I imagine they mostly listen to the second group of ethicists
I’m trying. I love startups and want as many good entrepreneurs to succeed as possible. All the VC drama causes people to forget the whole point.
It’s inherent with true capitalism. You have to be willing to forego some profit to actually treat people right and for some that’s just too much.

I wish they taught this in business schools. I get the impression they really don't, based on my experiences with business grads
Judging from the handful of B school professors I’ve interacted with, I’d be surprised if they didn’t.
Judging from the many HBS students I’ve interacted with, the takeaway seems to be judiciously avoiding treating people fairly.
