Wondering given some patterns historically & repeatedly & felt worthy of asking / raising the question given time and time again how “transformative” of impacts pattern has had at scale:
What are motives and mechanisms when one proactively doles out honors/promotions/recognitions/celebration essentially transactionally for precisely the antonym of everything those honors mechanisms and such things ever even stood for on both micro + macro scales undermining them?
a)????? Doing Some Positive by Enabling / Facilitating Actions so Bad as to not even be whisperable / would “tarnish” institutions & therefore a threat | (Usually code language for essentially a few people at the tip top having voluntarily engaged in unfathomable things that’d land them twiddling thumbs in prisons)
a.????? Doing “right thing” and servicing “greater good” because are actions So bad as to be unspeakable / aka objectively without inference or assumptions blatantly wrong |?
b.???? E.g. “Know it may seem wrong—but if these things got out that are this bad about the CEO it’d make the whole entire company look bad and its right thing to do whatever it takes to ensure that does not happen”
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? i.????? Other:? “But these are actions objectively outlined as severely wrong by the justice system—and—isn’t there something wrong when had people supposed to be setting the example and leading done something 1% as serious—now that—that’d be morally obligatory to prosecute—but 100x as severe—exact opposite—mandates and compel to effect even more wrongs to ensure justice undermined??
?
Net Impact:? if as leader—if jaywalk or do a misdemeanor—make sure to do felonies and universal wrongs at same time or otherwise—may face consequences
b)???? A ploy to confuse populations and underlings and lead them astray—eg I know what I thought fervently believed and stood for before I joined—know the laws—know what is allowed and not allowed to be “said”—but look—over there see the opposite of any and all of that and they are the “honorable” ones leading “by example”
c)????? A scheme that trades off actual merits and the noble and virtuous amongst us for personal convenience, in many respects—at its expense—for service to an individual or a few individuals unspeakable misdeeds?
a.????? No doubt about it such actions are an insult and undermine all those out there that by their merits, virtue, sacrifices earned such honors and believed in what they stood for
b.???? Constitutes a “threat” where typically 1 or 2 people who objectively and indisputably without inference having done greatest wrongs for their own self interests / wanting to avoid obvious consequences throw “under the bus” the value of merits to both former recipients, as a net and moving forward
d)???? Schemes that “desensitize” and “normalize” on a larger scale basis to populations which was otherwise and formerly unfathomable and outright atrocity
a.????? E.g. While know that without inference and otherwise that was not even thinkable—but look—we all grow and wisen each day and—look over there—they did this with impunity and they are “honored” / our “role models”? |? besides, those that stood with those silly outdated eternal standards—it didn’t fare too well for them—what happened to them anyways?
b.???? ànet impact: à whole segments of people infringing more and more on what prior to the intentional catalysts enaction were things they’d never even in nightmares think they’d ever be doing
e)????? Mechanisms to insulate / provide layers for those of unspeakable guilt:
a.????? E.g. by promoting / honoring / lifting to the top those that “enabled” and “empowered” such wrongs—ensure moving forward and for future insulation by tried true and tested—“dependable”—“reliable”—exploitees that one “already knows” will “do what’s right” and offset “everything they are supposed to stand for” for “my greater good”
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? i.????? ànet impactàcomplete crippling and paralysis of all checks and balances & incentivization and multiplication of wrongs above to more and more people as “they already know” they’ve already degraded and compromised this layer of integrity who will “keep in check” all underlings

*in any event/most favorable view & interpretation—even if one takes routes of innocence by “intentional ignorance”—that happens to be beneficial to their advancement & interests—they are taking the shoes and spot of someone who otherwise had they not been would be doing the right things and preventing atrocities and harm to innocent human being
?
f)??????? Mechanisms to intentionally undermine and “desensitize” on micro + macro basis / at scale foundational cherished “antiquated relics” like “the constitution:
a.????? While I always believed in it even promoted policies, justified whole entire things on the basis of it prosetylized morality and what’s right and wrong on its basis—“now realize” that? things get antiquated and just because some document speaks of such things like “inalienable” and so forth—times have changed and those who wrote such things—now and today—would be “threats”
b.???? ànet impactà? normalizing and encouraging actions undermining the whole core foundations and compasses of things while using them where advantageous and self serving and “being the change one wishes to see in the world” effectively deeming which aspects and elements of such things are valid / good / causes that are actionable and for greater goods
g)????? Attributable voluntary & most likely intentional efforts that undermine causes, premises, and foundations on macro scale undermining their universal weight or “practicality”—
a.????? àbait and switch type things where injustices somewhere translate to by concrete mechanisms injustices everywhere & people believing that which is “peddled” have misfortune of “learning”
h)????? Selfish acts showing ready willing and enthusiastic exploitation, degradation and harm to others both currently & moving forward—leading astray under guises of some positive higher than self purpose when true fact of the matter is its utilizations for self serving manipulation
i)??????? All / Multiple of the Above
?
Questions:?
a)????? Has it ever lead to net positive in any way shape or form? [despite whole justification and rationalization of it].? Would love to see concrete examples particularly given how much harm its lead to realization for so many over time.
b)???? What are the net intents and impacts?
c)????? Given net harms tolled on the many time and time again—what mechanisms could be put in place for prevention moving forward?
d)???? Is it in any way shape or form justifiable to look the other way in light of such things given the immediate expense to some human beings, ?lingering impacts and + incentivization and facilitation for future repetition, + propagation, perpetuation?
Are there situations where because of a CEO’s voluntary fully embraced and intentional decisions that didn’t pan out as they intended where expansive and accumulating summations of more & /or worse as needed wrongs are justifiable or even “the right thing to do” for the “greater good of the company.”?? And even assuming say yes to that—what then when it’s revealed that the truth an actuality was the latter was all about safeguarding self & misdeeds manipulatively peddled as if on behalf of the company?
Serious questions—population altering | life saving |? universal baseline devastating (or? establishing) direct implications:
Such things need to be fully illuminated as otherwise—see out there in such situations unspeakable unfathomable unimaginable things like people celebrating their dedication to causes & things whose whole “celebration”? came on the back of and expense of virtuous /? noble things—indisputably—magnifying perpetuations.

5 个月Asking as topic is seemingly un/undercovered, see repetitively time and time again these things play out at massive attributable expense of causes virtues & global standards/baselines/foundational rights and in cases harm to human beings "at scale" And-yes-even-as repulsively as it is and might seen - bases of celebrations propagations & active awareness expansion of testament to causes and virtues they "champion" while knowing that the whole foundation is de facto not deniable not liable never survivable of a polygraph "throwing under the bus" and "undermining" of those causes they clamor for praise for "leading." Sure I am not the only one who has ever witnessed or learned of such an abomination but what feel is severely under represented is just how pathogenic, perpetuating & + feedback looping in all bad ways these things are. E.g. one hears of the expression "injustices here are injustices everywhere" - in these cases - its direct causality and fully attributable. I don't know about others but it certainly troubles me when see someone celebrating & clamoring over actions that diminish & depress global baselines and the foundations of actual causes - ultimately worldwide.
