No: once a corporate-culture gets sufficiently divorced-from-reality, then they "have their heads up their asses" sooo far, that they commit blunders unless they "get a reality-check".
Committee-culture's fungus-minded.
The problem is that the frame-of-reference is relative, so a corporate-culture which is still immersed in outer-customers' reality is only one "degree" divorced-from-reality.
However, if the "frame-of-reference" of a culture is other sociopathic cultures, .. then .. then outright psychopathy becomes recommended/pushed/evolved, in order to compete among the misperceived-context ( which is only other-sociopathies ).
So, it's an escalating positive-feedback-loop.
Sociopathy breeds sociopathy, & when enough of the corporate-frame-of-reference is sociopathy, then psychopathy becomes primary, & eventually it is normal & ruling.
The increasing polarization in political-sphere, in religion/fundamentalism-sphere, in moneyarchy-sphere, in legalism's increasingly shameless contempt-for & eradication-of moral/natural law, the increasing polarization of class-system/monarchy among those in-love with that, the bolder & bolder violent authoritarianism..
it's all part of the SAME gorgon/hydra, just that each "serpent" is going in its own direction, but the fundamental change in human-unconscious is one of "fuck considered-reasoning: I'm going with ideology-enforcing!!"..
it's less intellectually-taxing to be ideological/prejudiced "believer" than it is to remain loyal to considered-reasoning..
there's less moral-anxiety within ideology/prejudice/belief than there is in considered-reasoning..
Overwork unplugs one from the push/pull cycle, the work-hard/rest-deeply cycle, which considered-reasoning requires..
& Microsoft is only 1 single example of progressing-through-sociopathy-into-psychopathy among our countless corporate world-possessors.
DarkHexad dimensions of human-evil:
Narcissism / Machiavellianism / Sociopathy-Psychopathy / Nihilism / Sadism / Systemic-Dishonesty.
Can you see how the more one immerses oneself in DarkHexad as a means of "winning", the more one's frame-of-reference normalizes that all?
It's just "drift", but in frame-of-reference, is all..

Uh, being a big contributor is literally step one in MS' plans to take over competition going back decades. Are they on to "expand" yet?
