It's time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.

We should never have taken them at their word.

I think the quote that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is a bit older, and said about all the lessons of history before it.

Somehow humanity doesn't like the wisest rules out there. And prefers to read Palanick and talk about post-modernism instead of looking at the root.
