Trinidaddy Says That Everyone Should Scam Their Boss

"Are you saying yes or no?  Would you want your employees betraying you?"

A person consistent in their morality would not only let their employees betray them, but commit suicide.

But philosophers have been saying this for years. See Robert Bresson's THE DEVIL PROBABLY, for example.

                                                           

Do you know the boardgame Monopoly was invented by an economist as a teaching tool and a form of economic critique? Now, ironically, it is a popular "family game". The values and processes it was designed to critique are now celebrated

But what always happens when you play Monopoly? And where does money originate in real life? Why dont they teach you this in school? What are the effects of simply using or possessing money?

Right now we have a group of economists - a new field called thermo-economics (started with a scientist called Frederick Soddy) - working on a computer simulation which maps the movement of money globally. What they're finding is that money (which is just an avatar of energy) obeys the laws of thermodynamics. It cannot be created or destroyed (we do create it; this "creation" is just offset by debt/entropy), it just moves from place to place, and it even follows the same "temperature gradients" as real heat. This has all kinds of implications, which I wont get into. Suffice to say that hard work, the entrepreneural spirit, all that stuff is fine. But in aggregate, "business" is not some benevolent, neutral transaction. It is a form of violence.

I take that you're saying no. You wouldn't want your employees betraying you.

You should stop to consider that your opinion on disloyalty also includes you.

Employers are not the only ones being hit on.
