I'm amazed that this was discovered years ago, but people continue to insist on recreating the wheel.  Maybe the point is to keep re-motiviating the workforce?

Naw.  I think it's that Americans are UNABLE for the most part to admit error or extend due credit, for fear of looking dumb or weak.

Largely due to conversations on PD that have made me actually THINK, I no longer give a shit if I look dumb or weak.  This means that I don't look dumb or weak.  Funny how that works.

This board is awesome.  Even when it's dead.

What it's led me to is the idea that "doing well by doing right" is a winning strategy.  And in places where it isn't, you should get noisily and hilariously fired (never quit, always get fired), and move on to somewhere else.

Somewhere, theres a book waiting to be written.  but it will never sell, because it makes too much sense.

It would be interesting, though...Trying to subvert 300 years of fucked up values.  It wouldn't be impossible, either, given that at this moment, the typical shitty behavior that many MBAs have been brought up on are at the moment out of favor.

Sounds good.  Perhaps we should do this off-site?

Not sure.  We could use cloud as a working space, maybe.  I'd want parts of it here for review.

However it happens, just do it.  :)

Be less honest.

Money is easy once you abandon integrity.

What's interesting is that this only works in show business.

In any other form of business, sustained, real wealth is usually best served by principled actions.  No shit.  Fact is, there are so many unscrupulous bastards out there that it SEEMS that everyone is dishonest.

I think what I do might technically come under the "entertainment" banner.  :x

Just yesterday I pissed a bunch of people off by saying you can't learn a card reading method from rocks, i.e., "crystals". Much hilarity ensued, but I don't get the cross-promotion that the pagans get.

I'll probably die poor.  :horrormirth:
