I have zero doubt that any visionaries or innovators who might’ve made it to the executive ranks have been long since weeded out so that they wouldn’t make the poseurs and weasels and manipulators look bad. So the poseurs and weasels and manipulators are all that’s left. And their skill set is entirely built around taking advantage of systems other people built - they couldn’t build one themselves if their lives depended on it.
I don’t think they have any choice.
