    I feel like Frankenstein didn’t know when to quit either. There’s a lot of companies twisting the knife into themselves because shareholders demand infinite growth, but creating systems that work in harmony are in exact opposition to that creedo, so until we eliminate the perverse cancerous idea of infinite growth, we won’t rid ourselves of these obviously bad actors that have themselves gilded with the guise of progress

      Even infinite growth has been thrown out. The main objective seems to be ‘growth next few quarters’ like its a desperate act of survival; beyond that is the problem of whoever’s holding the bag then.

      There are some companies still thinking long term, but money has definitely shifted to ‘bonkers short term’
