“Capitalism will not automate itself out of existence. It will not eliminate the workforce, and it will not even try. What it will do is create a deskilled workforce, ever more dependent on capital for the ability to produce, and create a divided workforce, that does not share a common proletarian consciousness, thus diffusing its class power. And, for when and where discontent does bubble up, it will automate the deadly force required to repress uprisings.”

I’ve met enough CEOs to tell you that most of them have no clue what they are doing, but combine two maxed “qualities”: They have unfathomable high self-esteem and absolutely lack any remorse or empathy.

Beyond that, they’re nice normal people ;)
