Global institutions are caught in a delusion, begging Silicon Valley to "do the right thing."

They fail to grasp the ironclad law of fiduciary duty. You cannot shame a corporate machine engineered strictly for capital efficiency. It’s a category error. If a system cannot feel empathy, stop trying to teach it how. Logic must fight logic.

Stop Trying to Appeal to Corporate Morality

The structural delusion of treating a rigid legal contract as a flexible ethical choice.

It's great seeing this argument in the open after making it in private circles for so long.

My argument has been essentially: corporations are completely blocked from doing the right thing if they can do the wrong thing profitably with no repurcussions. Even if a CEO wanted to do good, fiduciary duty to shareholders would force him to take evil measures to enhance shareholder profit.

I raise this every time someone in earshot says corporations are good or somehow benevolent.

@TrimTab it's exactly why I proposed a solution that, instead of fighting corporate greed, which is a losing battle, what we do is we take their greed and make it work for humanity. We offer them a massive discount on land, we don't sell it to them but we lease it to them at a massive discount but only if they prioritize hiring humans to make sure that people keep their jobs instead of automating them away if they try to automate they lose their lease.

I call it NUPA:
