The phrase “leading to the future” is a common phrase when a middle-aged man who is always in the dark “rewards and punishes” a young man for one’s past performance.
- But the reward for success is the opportunity for the next success. - [Capitalizing on Opportunities - The Parable of the Tallantons
In a society of good people, this is a positive value transaction
- Bad people mimic that trade.
- Imitates a transaction of positive value so it can be misinterpreted as positive value
- Mislead people into making transactions of negative value.
- Bad people gain in the short term.
As this information spreads, people will think, “This is a negative value transaction.”
- That would make the bad guy’s scheme untenable.
- But the “positive value transaction” that was causing long-term value creation also ceases to exist at the same time.
I wonder which is better for society as a whole.
