Geithner Aides Reaped Millions Working for Banks, Hedge Funds
"… President Barack Obama has been critical of Wall Street, blaming its high-risk, high-pay culture for helping cause the financial-market meltdown."
.. culture! .. high-risk! .. high-pay! .. culture spread beyond the confines of financial boardrooms .. infecting every sector of human endeavour … determining the goals human individuals are after .. no matter what the means possessed, activities involved .. overriding all other concerns …
.. concerns that elevate the human individual .. from a mere selfish, egotistical animal .. deeply entrenched in the accomplishment of its own means and gains .. to the social animal whose acts and behaviour are guided .. by norms and rules, habits built deep into its very core, automated .. unbiased, natural come forth effortlessly .. to bring forth people’s feelings of togetherness .. a world united
" “These people are incredibly smart, they’re incredibly talented and they bring knowledge,” said Bill Brown, a visiting professor at Duke University School of Law and former managing director at Morgan Stanley."
incredibly smart? .. incredibly talented? .. bring knowledge? .. smartness and talent identified? .. for what? .. what this smartness and talent is for? .. why this smartness and talent be revered for? .. what does it bring forth, for the humanity at large? .. apart from setting the examples for all other individuals to follow … go out and ‘kill’ and ‘maim’ … till you accomplish your goal … to make tons of money ..
"Speaking to financial executives last month, Obama said: “We will not go back to the days of reckless behaviour and unchecked excess that was at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses.” "
… ‘where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses‘ … these individuals .. and this culture .. should have been spurned and loathed .. instead of being elevated to the pinnacle of human achievement
achievements for which .. the whole world is suffering from … responsible for spreading the bug of ‘make money’, become rich .. of dragging into the mud … the meaning conferred upon the concept of human individual .. trashing to the bone .. everything held high of what an individual is ..
