Each of those statements are rather simplistic, but for the sake of argument true-ish enough. I'm not at all surprised that there are sociopaths willing to leverage the twisted incentives in our system.

The sociopath comes natural, the system does not. It's malleable.

In a more balanced world, this behavior is corrected. That CEO should be chased down the streets or do prison time. Their assets seized and given back. Even more ideal would be for legislation to fix the twisted incentive.

The above stuff matters. Instead we focus on canceling somebody over an offensive tweet containing a word not at all offensive 3 days ago.
