There's nothing worse to me, than the "Champagne Socialist" who hand-waves about the righteousness of socialism, but fails to tip the uber driver. I hate that.
I'm with Taleb in that it's best to judge people when they have "skin in the game". No, I've turned down real-world jobs or gigs or deals where deception was involved and was not in the client's best interests. Sadly, "tactics" and dirty tricks are extremely common in the real world, particularly in sales and law area (sometimes tech). You would be amazed at the number of people that would use dirty tricks if:
- "money can be made"
- "I can get away with it"
- "my co-workers are doing it"
- (or) "my boss told me to"
And the guys I knew who did this were hardly starving. hell, some of them LIKED doing it. And then they would go on to church or rally or whatever, feeling all self-righteous about themselves. It's god damn bizarre.
