It's time to stop taking any CEO at their word.

Edit: scratch that, the time to stop taking any CEO at their word was 100 years ago.

The best time was 100 years ago. The second-best time is now.

I think the quote that "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely" is a bit older, and said about all the lessons of history before it.

Somehow humanity doesn't like the wisest rules out there. And prefers to read Palanick and talk about post-modernism instead of looking at the root.

The easiest way to stop him is to walk up to him and whisper into his ear "end computer similation" and he will just disappear.
